About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn how to create Tableau dashboards that connect data to decision-making. Starting with stakeholder planning and data requirements, you’ll define goals, success metrics, and key questions. Then, you’ll clean and prepare a real-world tech salary dataset using Tableau’s filtering, aliasing, and data type tools. You’ll turn these insights into impactful dashboards using calculated fields, grouping, and interactivity. Finally, you’ll explore how to interpret and present dashboards effectively through Socratic dialogue—critiquing design choices, analyzing KPIs, and refining your data story. By the end, you’ll be able to deliver dashboards that are insightful, persuasive, and tailored to audience needs....

This course completely changed the way I look at data visualization and story telling with data. The skill set that I developed can easily be applied to real life and improve my value as an analysts.

Really tangible and useful. I have been able to take what I've learned in this specialization so far to create dashboards at work. I'm really pleased with how much I've learned in such a short time!

No.I am very disappointed with the content not being better.I have learned much more from watching YouTube videos than from this course.Your test questions have too many gotcha questions.Which program is most like Tableau? PowerPoint, Excel, Word, or R.It seems to me that it is Excel.But it's not.When you grade you tell us that the answer is wrong but don't provide the correct answer.How would I ever find the answer to that question by searching the transcripts of all the course material?Plus, it's not a question that has one answer.It depends on your viewpoint.Very disappointed with having to answer these stupid questions.Why not focus on asking us meaningful questions that demonstrate our understanding of the course material.You provide a lot a other material which in many cases is quite helpful.What we don't know is whether you are asking questions that came from outside the course material or not.The fact that we have to grade others' submissions is not something that I regard as necessary.It looks like we're doing your job!That's not the way I want to learn, if you call that learning.I don't want to have my submissions graded by someone who may know less than I do.This approach does not work for me.You also have a lot of clean up to do with your course material.The downloaded Superstore dataset does not match the dataset being used in the course material.Plus, it looks like your material is several years old.Tableau, while a popular BI tool, it is fraught with a clunky interface when building dashboard and storyboards.The instructor did not do a good job explaining this very well.I spent many, many hours with YouTube videos learning how to use Tableau to create dashboards.Did you know that Tableau does not offer the ability to select more than one object at a time when working in a dashboard.Having to create and recreate templates each time is frustrating and unnecessary, but that's the way it is.It would have been helpful to add material on how to create templates so that we don't have to spend an inordinate amount of time formattingdashboards to get it just right.It certainly would be nice to have something like a PowerPoint Template, a Word Template to keep us from spending so much time on format.Someone making $100 / hour is shouldn't have to spend time formatting and getting it just right. The waste of time is astounding!Your presentations leave a lot to be desired!So, my bottom line is this:This course was pretty much a big waste for me and included an enormous amount of frustration, dealing with the stupid questions, the lack of clear guidance on building dashboards, and having to grade other's submissions and having mine graded by someone who probably isn't qualified.I definitely will never take another Coursea course, nor will i ever recommend anyone take any of your courses.A very dissatisfiedcustomer!!!
