Learning Outcomes

This starter course is just that. To help you get started.

Many people I've trained over the years have never seen Tableau or are just starting off with Business Intelligence tools.

This course goes through the absolute basics for complete beginners so you get some quick experience, get familiar with the tool and have some fun along the way.

  • What Is Tableau?

    We'll begin by going through why Tableau plays such a massive role in the industry today. It's a real game-changer and you'll see why.

  • Setup and Installation

    The Tableau Company has so many offerings that it's very easy to lose your way. But don't fret, I'll help you with installation, file downloads and more.

★★★★★ Excellent Starting Point For New Users

Michelle Bannon
This was a very good beginner training for getting started. While I am not a beginner, I wanted to go through this and see if there was additional tips/tricks I could learn and I did. Great job on this Jellyman!

★★★★★ This Was Absolutely Great!

Andrea Munoz
This is a great introduction to tableau. I enjoyed your course very much and can't thank you enough for having this up for free. I have an interview on Friday that requires Tableau exposure, so I feel 100 times more prepared now! Thank you!

★★★★★ Great Simple Introduction To Tableau

Margot Drewe
Finally a simple explanation to the why of Tableau. I have watched many tutorials on how to use Tableau but Jellyman was the first one that was able to explain to me why Tableau and not Excel. The explanations Jellyman uses to explain the how of Tableau was so easy to comprehend I'm confident to take Tableau to the next stage.. Thanks Jellyman!

★★★★★ Great Starter Course For Tableau

Deepak Holla
Hi All,. . I really loved the way Jed has covered the topics of Tableau in this course.. I knew a bit of Tableau when I started this course but I must say that I did learn few new things in this course.. . The USP of this starter course was the knowledge that he shared with respect to the general stuff of where each of the topics might be used e.g: Where we could actually make use of a Running total in the real world.. . I cannot wait to start the Advanced course.. . I recommend anyone who is new to Tableau to take up this "Getting Started with Tableau" course!!!!. . Regards,. Deepak.

★★★★★ Outstanding Introduction

Mark Freeman
This course was so much fun that I couldn't wait to get up this morning and work on it over coffee. The instructor is engaging and personable while gently explaining exactly how to get started. I tend to be more of a book learning person, but that isn't so easy with such a complex application. This is the perfect combination of walkthrough and hands on exercises.

★★★★★ Super Stuff

Gokulakrishnan Selvam
Quick and compact review, easy understanding format. Covers all product uses and costs. Thank you so much ❤

★★★★★ I Really Enjoyed This Course!

Jonathan Cairns
I really enjoyed this course and have learned loads from it. On to the intermediate course next!

★★★★★ Explanations I Can Understand!

Margot Drewe
Explanations I can understand. Thank you Jellyman you have developed a fun easy to understand course that simplifies the processes in Tableau, well for me anyway. I've done a few courses to try and comprehend Tableau and this one works for me. Can't wait to learn more in the intermediate course.!

★★★★★ Good

Taps Rale
This intermediate course answers so many questions I had about how to visualise my data. You've developed very easy to comprehend tutorials based on real world examples and provided so many tips and tricks that make calculating fields so much faster. Thank You!! Jed also provides a lot if information on working in the field of data analytics which is a great bonus and provides references for further study in the field of visualisations.. When Jed publishes his next set of tutorials - Tableau Desktop for Experts I'm definitely signing up.. Thanks Jed for sharing your knowledge and passion for data analytics and visualisation!

Check out my reviews on Udemy

I began teaching on Udemy back in 2014 if you can believe! I had no idea what I was doing but I got better as I kept doing.

My Tableau Course on Udemy went very well but still needed some significant improvements such as more assignments, more on complex functionality, better data sets that reflected real-world situations and more.

I've taken all this feedback to build this next version course which is some of my best work yet!
