I have been developing tableau dashboards for about 3 years but I was thrown in the deep end and getting a deep dive on the basics is great. This is informative and detailed and I've picked up a few very basic things that I didnt know before already!
By Stefano Marchitto on 10/23/2021
Very cleaned explanations and a complete and comprehensive guide of the most important tools of Tableau, enriched with quiz and practice for every section of the course and a final quiz. Thank you Farzan!

As a beginner this course helped me to learn Tableau right from the basics to storytelling with visualizations. The instructor explained all the concepts in detail with examples. Now I'm waiting for advanced course in Tableau. Thanks.
By Pratibha on 6/28/2021
This is a very detailed course and almost everything have been touched by the instructor. Before this course I tried another one but it wasn't of much use. I searched a lot and ended up here and I found it worth my time.
By Stanley Tarce on 5/27/2021
I took 18 hours to finish this with a grade of 39/45 in the final exam(No wrong answers with the analysis part but due to carelessness with the other check-box questions). I can say I've learned a lot from the basics to the storytelling. This course helped me understand deeply everything about the calculation field and now I have the confidence to put Tableau in the list of my skills. Thanks a lot

One of the best courses I have tried so far. Although I watched the entire videos at X2 speed, the course contents are simple and beginner friendly. Thanks for wrapping the entire tableau skills in a simple course. I would definitely consider checking your other courses.
