Visualizations of data come in many forms: maps, word clouds, line charts, pie charts, bar charts, and more! The software Tableau is a powerful tool that allows for users to create a wide array of such visualizations. These visualizations can better help us analyze our data, which can be shared with others or studied for the purpose of solving a specific problem or need. In this workshop, we will create one to two visualizations, thereby gathering experience transforming data into user-friendly visuals and gaining insight into the vast resources of the Tableau application.
Workshop Objectives
- Learn how to access Tableau
- Understand which type of visualization works best for different data sets
- Understand Tableau’s strengths and weaknesses
