This 2-day Tableau Intermediate training (Tableau Desktop II: Intermediate – TTD201) is designed to expand your skills and distinguish yourself as a Tableau power user.

When you complete this class, you will be able to:
- Combine data from multiple tables using joins, unions, and relationships.
- Use extracts to improve performance.
- Build advanced chart types, including bar-in-bar and bullet graphs.
- Use advanced calculations and table calculations to modify data as needed for analysis.
- Apply analytics to views.
- Use parameters and input controls to support audience analysis.
- Build useful dashboards using techniques for guided analytics, interactive dashboard design, and visual best practices.
All of our trainers are certified and enthusiastic about Tableau! For individuals or smaller groups, we have live instructor-led Tableau training online with hands-on labs (just like a physical classroom). For larger groups (6 plus), the course is also offered privately onsite at your office. All delegates receive course materials and access to our licensed Tableau environment for hands-on labs.
