<P>Preparing data for Tableau takes 80% of the time in any information communication effort.<STRONG> </STRONG><STRONG>This workshop will save hundreds of hours</STRONG> spent on manual data preparation and looking online for answers.</P>
<P>Tableau is a powerful tool. Becoming proficient at building insightful dashboards might only take a couple of weeks. While there are good resources demonstrating how to use Tableau to build dashboards, there are not good resources about how to prepare data for analysis in Tableau. When we first started using the product, it took many months of effort and meetings with specialized consultants to learn the rules associated with preparing data for Tableau. We don’t want others to go through those same difficulties. <STRONG>We’ve taken years of learning and condensed it into a 2 day workshop to save you the time and frustration.</STRONG></P>
