In this course, you’ll learn how to create Tableau dashboards that connect data to decision-making. Starting with stakeholder planning and data requirements, you’ll define goals, success metrics, and key questions. Then, you’ll clean and prepare a real-world tech salary dataset using Tableau’s filtering, aliasing, and data type tools. You’ll turn these insights into impactful dashboards using calculated fields, grouping, and interactivity. Finally, you’ll explore how to interpret and present dashboards effectively through Socratic dialogue—critiquing design choices, analyzing KPIs, and refining your data story. By the end, you’ll be able to deliver dashboards that are insightful, persuasive, and tailored to audience needs.
