Course Description

Great Analysis begins with Great Data

But how do you connect Tableau to your databases and other file types, so that you can build a view and analyze your data? In this course, you'll learn how to use connectors in Tableau to create a live connection to CSV and Excel files.

Combine Multiple Data Sources

Through hands-on exercises, you’ll also learn how to combine multiple data tables with joins, unions, and relationships.

Finally, you'll learn to manage different data properties, like renaming data fields, assigning aliases, changing data types, and changing default properties for a data field.
