The course is good enough to get hands on Tableau however i think there should have been detailed section on parameters and calculative fields and some complex visualization examples
By Ralf Göbel on 1/30/2019
Of all the courses on Tableau I've taken so far, this has been the best one especially for beginners. - the course is well structured - all topics are explained in a way that is easy to follow and understand - many excercises to test your understanding
By Ann Balough on 9/21/2018
This course starts out very basic but it lays a very strong foundation for not only how to use Tableau, but more importantly how Tableau actually works. This has a lot of information on how and when Tableau aggregates data along with very useful examples. A good mix of theory and hands-on.
By Andrew Motsinger on 3/22/2018
I could tell that the instructor had a foreign accent but was very easy to understand. His knowledge was very extensive and examples he demonstrated will help solve real life business issues. He did not hesitate to show his Tableau skills so there was no waste of training time. I highly recommend this instructor and will look for other courses developed by R-Tutorials Training.
By David Potrubacz on 2/18/2018
Teacher's accent makes it difficult to understand. Sometimes need to stop video because I am thinking - what did he say? He needs to make sure with simple checking that there are no mistakes or omissions in the data sets, like lures.tde missing Discount, but it is still listed as a resource. A correct one is listed after lesson 16, but there is no mention to use it for the excercise. Why? Can't you just replace the wrong data set with the correct one? Good content, but could be improved immensely by more review before releasing.
By Stephen Rexroth on 1/29/2018
Good information for developing Tableau skills. When instructor walks through an example, it's very helpful. Sometimes he seems to skip ahead and start at a step without explaining how he got his data/view to the state where he starts off, which is difficult to follow from his data files.
By Fabiano Pereira Almeida on 1/29/2018
Curso para começar a entender o tableau. Dá uma base para cursos mais profundos.
By E H on 12/14/2017
This course is indeed a comprehensive Tableau overview which will give the end user, after finishing the course, a very solid foundation and understanding of Tableau 10. I'm looking forward to seeing other online courses from R-Tutorials.
By William Ross on 9/10/2017
Excellent course! Very helpful for those that want to get familiar with Tableau, but don't have much experience using it. You may not know everything these is to know about the software, but you'll have a firm grasp of its capabilities and what to look into further.
By Danielle White on 8/1/2017
Easy to follow/understand. It is showing an Excel spreadsheet data source for now. I look forward to seeing how to have Salesforce or Arena database sync'd directly to Tableau rather than needing to export files into text/excel format..
