Course Description

Great Analysis begins with Great Data

But how do you connect Tableau to your databases and other file types, so that you can build a view and analyze your data? In this course, you'll learn how to use connectors in Tableau to create a live connection to CSV and Excel files.

Combine Multiple Data Sources

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll also learn how to combine multiple data tables with joins, unions, and relationships.

Finally, you'll learn to manage different data properties, like renaming data fields, assigning aliases, changing data types, and changing default properties for a data field.

    Datacamp courses allow me to choose what aspect of Tableau to learn at what time, and the courses are great. The bits and pieces add up and the intimidating software becomes comfortable. Good stuff.
