Tableau is a powerful and popular drag-and-drop data visualization tool that allows users to create interactive visualizations without any programming. Tableau Public is available for free as long as you are willing to share your work online. This hands-on workshop for beginners will cover the basics using a sample set of data.

By the end of the Tableau workshop you should be able to:
