THe class does not emphasize the biggest software fundamental ... how to save and retrieve files. Once you make alterations to an imported excel file and effectively create a Tableau file how do you save it on your computer's hard drive? There should have been a 2 minute video completely dedicated to just this activity. Otherwise you are in constant fear that you are going to lose your work; every worker's greatest fear.

I was taking this course initially just to prepare for the Desktop Specialist Exam. But it is so well structured and thorough that I am just going to finish the entire career certificate. The clarity and depth given to each topic is something that's really lacking on other leaning platforms. I struggled the most with knowing when each type of connection is most appropriate (join versus relationship, cross-database join), but the hands on final project helped resolve most of that for me.

I was able to create table, not high-level yet. But at least I was able to get the information I need for my job.

Kudos to Shaun and PathStream for making learning practical and also insightful for the future. Thank you!

As promised and after a little bit of a scare there with the 8th course I am now changing my review. The Professional certificate throughout all the 8 courses involved in attaining it was at times intense but worth every minute committed. I enjoyed learning more about Tableau and its interface through the creation of specific visualizations created from accessible data/data sets.

This course has been great as a refresher for me, I have built lots of visualizations in Tableau but I'd have to undo and retry so many times since I didn't have a good understanding of the basics. I just jumped into my job and was successful, but I need to go back to the beginning so I can be more efficient.

Well, to be honest, this training has been the best Tableau and business analysis course I've attended so far. However, at times, the terminology used can be quite close and includes internal expressions specific to Tableau. Nevertheless, overall, I am very pleased with this course.

Very thourough with lots of detailed instruction. I especially appreciate the open ended challenges at the end which enabled me to stumble across some of the community forums supporting this software and the many great things it can do.

Excellent structure with practical, bite-sized bits of information with minimal talking head. Hands-on practice for every concept taught. Every course should aspire for this thoughtful pedagogy.

This is a great class. I liked how in this class we dive into setting up and configuring data before any visualization or other steps. The instructor's explanations are also well made.

This course gave me a solid foundation in understanding the Tableau. The instructor videos and hands-on exercises gave me the confidence and interest to continue working with Tableau.

Very good course, everything is well explained in details and straight to the point... This course is way much better than other courses on Tableau offered on Coursera

Easy to follow, well paced with good combination of video and written content and quality assignments that are well balanced in their skill level expectations.

Good course, structured, practical, from simple to complex, thanks to the developers, also it is not long, there are results, which inspires to learn more.

Great course! I enjoyed the final project. I am slowly but surely starting to feel more confident with the tool.

It is such a great beginning. I will recommend it to my friends and acquaintances. Thankyou team Coursera

The course is well designed and easy to understand for beginners. I had an enriching experience.

It was great for total beginners, though dont expect that you will make visualised graphs

excellent course with proper structure and a excellent practical work at the end

Great Instructor. I enjoyed the interactive part of the course. Easy to follow.
