I learned the basics and can start working on advanced skills due to this course. I would recommend to anyone looking to learn the fundamentals and get familiar with the interface and use case scenarios.
By Jason Antonino on 4/13/2021
Poor audio quality, speaker going through material too quickly, also seems to be using a different version of the software than the Tableau Public I downloaded, so difficult to follow along.
By Rebecca McMonagle on 2/13/2021
Good intro course. Information was relayed clearly and was not overwhelming. Only critique I have (and this may have been addressed elsewhere), is that on the current publicly available version of Tableau, creating a join follows a slightly different method. Following instructions provided in video now creates a relationship. Solution was googleable but would be better if there was an easily accessible footnote or visual note at the beginning of the individual lecture (if there isn't already) to address this change.

It is. Just going back over the basics. Its a good overview especially about the data preview and the simple data transformations that can be done. Thank you.

I learned the basics of Tableau in a short time. I'm ready to move on to mastering.
By K.W. on 6/15/2020
Very good, the only improvement could be using the new version of Tableau that has a slightly different interface, such as Relationships instead of Joins.

I did not have any knowledge of TableAu and this I've really learnt what TableAu could do. This course also provided me with the fundamentals of it and I really like it.
