But don't worry, we'll be guiding you each step of the way, with crystal clear explanations and helpful pro tips to help you build your Tableau Desktop skills.

We'll start with a quick intro to the Tableau platform and community, then connect and transform our first dataset. From there we'll explore sorting, filtering and grouping tools, build and format visuals, define custom calculations and parameters, and finally tie it all together with dynamic, interactive dashboards and stories:
