Video Walkthrough of ICA 4.2 – Getting Familiar with Tableau

Class,

I’ve uploaded a video walkthrough of the first Tableau in-class activity that was started last Friday. Because it’s so integral to becoming acquainted with Tableau, and many elements are used in Assignment #2, I want to make sure you have this activity completed and can build on for the remainder of the course.

There are tips in the video that are not covered in the activity worksheet, things we’ll cover later in the course in depth. For instance, the order that you put measures into the row shelf will define how the data is sorted on screen. Or, how to convert a scatterplot or bar chart into a line graph. I’ve had a few questions about how to do the line chart, and I demonstrate how to do that at 17:30-20:00.

If you have any difficulty viewing the video, please contact me ASAP. Else, enjoy and I hope you find this useful.

EDITED TO ADD: you’ll find the video under the Class Capture page.
