Analyzing and Visualizing Data

Analyzing and Visualizing Data examines the principles and techniques used to effectively analyze data to answer questions and share data through the art of visualization. This course explores how to use formulas and functions to perform calculations, how to design and create visualizations and dashboards in Tableau, and how to build an effective data presentation that considers limitations associated with the data and best practices for audience considerations. This course provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of what is involved in the conversion and formatting of data and apply the use of functions and syntax to create SQL queries for combining data from multiple database tables. The course D467: Exploring Data, which also includes Google certificate materials, is a prerequisite.
