Note from the author

I wrote this book to help people develop core Tableau skills, and to build foundational data visualization knowledge. There are many nuanced data visualization and analytics techniques, but there are also universal, outcomes-focused design principles.

I cover the core Tableau and design skills in a way that helps you pass the Tableau Desktop Specialist exam and deliver valuable outcomes with data visualizations.

Please reach out with any queries or feedback. I’m always keen to improve and help others.
