More about this course
  • Very rarely is data perfectly ready for visualization. Tableau Prep is a visual data preparation tool that allows you to get to data analysis faster by enabling the quick cleaning, reshaping, and prepping of data—using the same drag-and-drop paradigm as Tableau Desktop
  • This course shows exactly how to use Tableau Prep for data preparation. Instructor Matt Francis show how to connect to multiple data sources and combine them into a single source of data using joins and unions. Then learn how to filter, split, and rename data and how to pivot data to convert wide data into the tall data that Tableau Desktop prefers
