This workshop will provide a brief overview of using Tableau Desktop Public Edition, explaining how to connect to data, exploring the Tableau interface, and building simple visualizations based on structured data.

This is the first of two Tableau Workshops this semester. Attending both is not necessary, but the material in the second workshop will build on what we cover in Getting Started with Tableau.

Prior to the workshop, attendees are encouraged to install Tableau Desktop Public Edition for free on their personal devices.

This workshop is part of the Tools for Data Analysis series for those looking to deepen their understanding of how to interact with data and more effectively and creatively communicate their research findings to wide audience. If you need personalized assistance with a data analysis, programming, or a coding project, consider booking a consultation with one of our librarian-experts. Learn more about our services to support programming and coding and for working with data.
