Elevate Your Analytics in a day

Building on foundational Tableau skills, this intensive 1‑day course brings you into advanced territory with practical, real-world techniques. Guided by an instructor with 30+ years of BI and analytics experience, you'll learn cutting‑edge features from Tableau 2025, dive deeper into data modeling, advanced calculations, sophisticated visualization techniques, and optimize for performance—right where professional demand is strongest.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Use advanced calculations including custom LODs, table calculations, and RegEx logic
• Build complex data models with multi-table relationships and performance tuning
• Design non‑standard charts: dual-axis visuals, Sankeys, radial bars, dot plots
• Implement interactive features like parameter actions, set actions, and dynamic parameters
• Create advanced geospatial analyses using spatial parameters and map layers
• Optimize dashboards: performance recording, VizQL API integration, extensions

Prerequisites

• Completion of foundational Tableau training (our 2‑day course or equivalent)
• Familiarity with core charts, basic calculations, data joins/relationships, and dashboard creation
