Do you want to visualize your data in a dynamic way? This guided project was created for learners who want to gain a solid understanding of Tableau and how to create impactful data visualizations. You will learn how to create dynamic dashboards for visualizing data using different LOD (level of detail) expressions. More specifically, in this 1 hour long project-based course you will analyze sales data from a retail store using Tableau desktop, and build dynamic dashboards that enable complex Tableau dashboards to drill down into data at different levels for deeper analysis. To achieve this we will be using Tableau Desktop which is a user friendly and powerful tool that allows you to analyze, dissect and visualize your data from different granularities.
In order to successfully complete this project no advanced knowledge is needed but a basic understanding of data analysis concepts such as visualization techniques and data aggregation, is recommended.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Task 1: Set up Tableau desktop and create a simple calculated field
Task 2: Create Fixed LOD expressions
Task 3: Create Include LOD expressions
Practice Activity
Task 4: Create Exclude LOD expressions
