“EXCELLENT COURSE

Jellyman is an excellent teacher! His content is interesting, applicable and well-explained.

He has clearly thought about the way people absorb information and doesn't gloss over any assumed knowledge like many other courses do. He has taken the time to go through methods & concepts step by step so it's almost impossible not to learn! ”

Elizabeth Deterding

“AMAZING COURSE

The course is great! Feels like studying with a friend :) Everything is explained very easily and I am looking forward to the next one! ”

Anastasiia Larina

“BEST TABLEAU TRAINING EVER

Totally clear and very well explained with a bunch of examples. All sensible topics – LOD, Actions and Calculated Fields are tackled.

Big Thank You! ”

Nicolaie Cozma

“I LOVE LEARNING TABLEAU WITH JED

The best teacher of Tableau I have ever found! I would love to meet Jed someday in real life. I like his sense of humor and the way he explains everything.

Jed much thanx for this course. ”

Emilia B Korycka

“JOINS WERE HOLDING ME BACK

Great – this was holding me back but not any more ”

Brian Sundermeijer

“STILL LEARNING THINGS

I was wondering why we were just now covering joins when it's something I felt essential enough to be a beginner subject. Then you delved into joins versus relationships versus blends and it became much clearer – this was more complex than an entry level subject.

Great explanations all around and I have a better understanding of when to use which tool.

Update: Just finished LODs. Mind continues to be blown! Can't recommend this course enough. ”

Bryan Nylander

“ONE OF THE BEST EDUCATORS ON PLANET TABLEAU

Jellyman is a fantastic teacher! His lessons are unlike others to say the least!!!

Hats off to his engineering personality and his koool sense of humour (A bit of contradiction there but definitely works like magic on our memory capacity to retain his fun lessons :) ”

Jenny Wang

“AMAZING!

Take this course even if you think you're an expert in Tableau ”

Tableau Cloud FAQ

  • Will I learn to create and manage a Tableau Cloud site from start to finish?

    Yes. This course guides you through setting up a new Tableau Cloud site, configuring users and permissions, publishing dashboards, and managing the site on an ongoing basis. You’ll gain the skills to confidently create, deploy, and maintain your own Tableau Cloud environment.

  • Do I need a license to use Tableau Cloud?

    Yes. Tableau Cloud requires a valid license based on your role: Creator, Explorer, or Viewer. Most learners start with a Creator License to publish content and manage data connections.

  • How is Tableau Cloud different from Tableau Server?

    Tableau Cloud is a fully hosted SaaS platform — no infrastructure to maintain and updates are handled by Tableau. Tableau Server is self-hosted on your organization’s environment, giving IT full control over deployment, upgrades, and security settings.

  • How do I publish dashboards to Tableau Cloud?

    You can publish directly from Tableau Desktop using the “Publish to Tableau Cloud” option. This uploads your workbooks and dashboards so they can be shared, viewed, and interacted with online.

  • Can I schedule data refreshes in Tableau Cloud?

    Yes. Tableau Cloud lets you set up scheduled refreshes for your extracts, ensuring data stays current. You can also use live connections if your data source supports it.

  • How do I share dashboards with others?

    You can share dashboards by assigning permissions to specific users or groups. Depending on their role, they can either view or interact with your dashboards securely within Tableau Cloud.

  • What happens if I don’t have a license but still want to learn?

    You can still follow along with the course. The demonstrations give you an understanding of cloud-based analytics workflows, which are essential for professional analysts to share data and results with stakeholders.
