Tableau Desktop (TTDTAB007)

Geared for experienced Tableau, Tableau Desktop II / Intermediate Tableau Desktop is a two-day, lab intensive hands-on course that provides participants with the intermediate and beyond level skills required to develop complex visualizations, and to combine them in more advanced-level interactive dashboards. Although the base list of topics is similar to the Tableau Desktop course, the Intermediate course will dive deeper into the advanced skills within each topic and visualization to provide you with the skills required for advanced level work. This course is not for beginners or those new to Tableau.
