With the prevalence of Tableau as a data exploration and visualization tool, learning to use this powerful piece of software is a worthwhile endeavor. As you continue to read, come along with me on my journey from displaying a few charts and graphs to learning and better understanding the software to display interesting and informative data visualizations.
The First Brush:
My first project on Tableau, this dashboard is a fairly straightforward visualization I created to familiarize myself with the basics of the Tableau software. I downloaded the Superstore Sample data set from this Tableau community page, and utilized that data to create a dashboard that gives an overview of sales with data divided variously between regional, product, and consumer group information.
Further visualizations will be added to this post as they are created.
