Adopting new technology is daunting, especially if you are coming from another platform you already know well. Many people that are learning Tableau have a background in Excel and maybe even SQL so they understand how calculations work but don't know Tableau's syntax yet.
This workshop will bridge that gap. We'll condense months of learning into three, 3-hour sessions. We've taught 4,000+ students Tableau since 2014 and we'll share all the tips and tricks we've learned across many trainings and projects!
