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!

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
