If you’ve already had a look at the boundless opportunities of Tableau, it's time to get to a whole new level. So, you already know that building a baseline report is an easy task, but when the ante is up, deadlines are looming, and business reality requires even faster and better decision support - an analyst should be able to show only big things. And, what’s more, on time. Plus, do it at its finest.
Our route is thought out to the last detail; you will see completely non-tourist places revealing data landscapes from the perspective of conscious information design. We’ll go down to the mysterious corridors of advanced analytics, and we’ll also see for ourselves how fast calculations are in their natural habitat.
This walk is for experienced tourists who know that perfection knows no limits, and keep options open.
Наша пешеходная экскурсия поднимет скилл не только аналитикам, но и всем специалистам, которые так или иначе имеют в своём арсенале бесконечные эксели, дивизии ВПР ()ов и необходимость переводить это на язык, понятный руководителям.
Topics that we will study out:
01
Tableau Calculations and Data model
This time, we'll take it a step further and get familiar with Tableau's computing capacity, as well as study up on its data handling and how to use that knowledge to improve performance and reporting speed. We will learn how to assemble complex visualizations with multiple metrics on a single chart, bypass source data limitations, and effectively combine data from different sources in one dashboard still being alert to the nuances.
02
Tableau Analysis
We’ll deal with analytics like adults: data description and visualization is interesting, but the goal of this part of the route is to find out what can be compared and even predicted using your data and the analytical capabilities of the Tableau Desktop engine. We’ll plunge into plotting trend lines, p-value and r-square, box plots, reference lines, forecasting and correlation analysis, and also try out several life hacks in practice that will allow us to cope with much more complex challenges.
03
Advanced Dashboarding & Tableau Server
This is the territory of advanced information design and User Experience upon dashboard building. How to choose the right layout and draw the user's attention to what’s important? How to get rid of excessive elements in visualization? How to tell a story using the data? We’ll also bring up the lifetime of the report after its publishing, subscriptions and alerts, talk about the division of access rights and row level security, see what Tableau Server looks like and get basic administration skills

Day 1
We’ll quickly recap how everything works in Tableau and start practicing building visualizations that can't be found in ShowMe tooltips. Let's look at a few practices that enable you to create tables without using the very same tables, and also bypass the pitfalls when creating your own estimates and get a better understanding of how to speed the work.
1
Tableau basics recap
Measures, dimensions Continuous, discrete Types of charts available, their use cases Base calculations Filters
2
Combined visualizations
Combined charts and other waterfalls dual axis chart SUM(1) and its street magic
3
Customized calculations
Calculated fields Most helpful formulas Advanced tabular calculations

Day 2
We’ll talk about the Tableau data model and the mechanisms that perform invisible miracles the very moment we apply filters or add a new calculation to our visualization. We’ll continue to make things more complicated and figure out how the Tableau data model differs from blending and joins, and how to choose the best method in terms of speed. We’re also going to work with advanced analytical capabilities - trends, reference lines, correlation and forecasting.

Day 4
We’ll philosophize whether there is life after the release, and how to make the created dashboard as useful and sought-after as possible. We’ll look at the report through the Tableau server admin’s eyes and learn how to control the further work of the report after publication. We’ll figure out how to show the relevant information only to the right people, and how to captivate and interest even the most inactive users.
