Forecasting and Time Series Analysis in Tableau (Udemy.com)

R integration with Tableau seemed complicated, specially the "when to do it" part, but this course gets you through basic time series understanding in Tableau to actual integration. It's true examples are not super complex, nevertheless this gives to you a good start in time series, plus you learn some interesting tricks in Tableau. The instructor is very knowledgeable by the way, he sure knows what he talks about.

All the 4 sections are packed with practical knowledge in Time Series and Forecasting which is essential for professionals working in any function particularly Sales, Procurement, Logistics, Transportation, etc., who need to do forecasting and other data-analysis to develop a futuristic vision of their business. The faculty is very knowledgeable and thorough in this subject. His explanations are simple and understandable. Basic knowledge of Tableau and R, is essential to understand this course really well.

Really great course which provides the fundamentals for time series analysis and forecasting as well. The exercises are easily followed (granted you need to have at least some working experience with Tableau). My only complaint that in section 26. the steps are quite hard to follow as the instructions are very fast. Overall, I had fun and it was a good time investment.

I finished the course and it was a great first step towards learning forecasting with R and Tableau. I think its a foundational course, and I was able to generate an interesting chart using my own data. I hope the same lecturer can offer another course that's next level. He was very easy to follow and understand.

This is an excellent course! I have always been somewhat confused when working with dates in Tableau. This course has cleared up the confusion and I feel I have a much better understanding of how dates work in Tableau. The simple, common-sense approach Martin uses to explain how dates work and the tips he shares are amazing and really helpful. Thanks Martin!

After weeks of struggling to figure out how to forecast using Tableau and R, I found this course and it gave me the information and insight I needed. The material was well organized, well presented, and included practical exercises. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn how to forecast using Tableau and R.

Instructor non-responsive to a question. At the very least, acknowledge receipt even if you have no answer. I contacted Udemy Customer Support and was told they have no control over whether instructors respond or not. So much for Customer Support! This experience changed a very good experience and left me with a bad taste. So I downgraded to 3-stars.

The Forecasting and Time Series Analysis in Tableau, is a very useful course for anyone interested in forecasting and use R and Tableau. Martin has high energy levels and gives a detailed explanation which is easy to follow. I found leveraging R to build forecast and using Tableau for visualization a very powerful technique.

Course content is very good. But the courses videos are very bad and tend to hide all the detail and are mostly whited out. This make following the instructors points very difficult. All that can be seen on the tableau views are the graph lines, all the trend lines and forecast lines are invisible. The instructor is very knowledgeable and explains the concepts very well.

The instructor explained the topics very well and the extra effort that went into the videos to illustrate the lessons / concepts greatly helped me in understanding the materials. I've taken other Tableau courses before but I have found that this course did the best job at explaining the various 'date' functions used in Tableau - which some may have difficulty grasping - but the instructor went step by step in order to help students build a solid foundation. Other Tableau courses quickly skim through this area and do a poor job at explaining why certain functions perform the way they do - or expect you to just copy and paste the formulas in. In addition, I've found that the pace the instructor taught the class was perfect - detailed, concise, and not rushed. I'm looking forward for more courses from this instructor - hopefully an advanced Tableau course that covers other topics and incorporates many real world business scenarios.
