Create a Tableau KPI Dashboard with four different worksheets. We’ll build a logic-driven view that tracks your Current Month performance, calculates a rolling 3-Month Average, and provides a direct Month-over-Month (MoM) Comparison.

Explore data to uncover new insights.

This challenge isn't about complex formulas; it's about the high human cost of poor data ethics and bias.

Create a dashboard that navigates between three different views and corresponding filter controls.

Filter the view but still use all the data in calculations

In this inquiry-oriented challenge, follow your own path to explore the data clues and solve the case.

Explore how totals change with different level of detail expressions.

Use a parameter as a “menu” to switch between two worksheets.

Ready to build the dashboards that get noticed? This high-level video explores 5 essential concepts that unlock advanced visualizations: Filters, Aggregation, Level of Detail (LOD) calculations, Parameters, and Actions/Tooltips.

In this video, we'll explore the fundamental roles your data fields play, from Dimensions and Measures to the famous Blue vs. Green distinction of Continuous and Discrete fields. We'll show you how this foundational understanding impacts your visualizations and even cover how to assign geographic roles to your data to create powerful maps.

In this leisurely stroll through Tableau formatting we’ll look at headers, axes, lines, colors, & text. We’ll customize visuals with shading, borders, and number formats.

This exercise explores the creation and presentation of compelling data narratives, framing the process as a journey from initial questions to actionable outcomes, such as solutions, opportunities, or well-informed decisions.

This example uses LOD and table calculations to find an employee’s weighted percent of goal.

In this exercise, we begin with a default relationship with two connections. Next, we explore joins and look at the new table joins create. Finally, we look at two data sources with data blending on a worksheet.

After replacing a data source, we’ll fix several errors highlighted with red fields, red warnings, and red exclamation marks.

Create a box and whisker plot and add mark labels.

Explore several exercises to select Top N with sets, filters, and parameters.

Use a calculated field and parameter to add a date to a title.
