Overview/Description

In addition to everything you'd expect from a data visualization tool, Tableau has extensive support for many advanced visual customization and user interaction features. This course gives you a taster of how these features work.

You'll start by using Tableau maps to render country-specific information and then further customize these maps, rendering their appearance and using map layers. You'll then assemble multiple charts together to collectively convey information using dashboards.

Next, you'll learn how to change the aesthetic appearance of Tableau dashboards and update them to include charts and other interactive objects and settings, such as navigation buttons, text labels, and download options. Lastly, you'll learn how to share a story publicly in the form of visualizations comprising charts and a dashboard using Tableau's publish feature.
