Tableau Tutorial for Beginners | Create Your First Dashboard

Learn how to use Tableau and created impressive dashboards.

Tableau is easy to use, but it can seem quite complex and confusing at first. The best way for you to learn Tableau is to download the files from the description of this video and follow along with me.

By the end of the video, you will have a much better understanding of Tableau and be confident that you can build dashboards on your own.

I'll take you step-by-step and show you how to create, publish and share your first interactive Tableau dashboard.

I'll cover:

1. Tableau's welcome screen
2. Connecting to data
3. Making visuals
4. Creating a dashboard
5. Adding interactivity
6. Publishing to Tableau Server
7. Sharing with others

By the end of the video, you'll have created your first interactive Tableau dashboard which you can publish to the web or to your company's Tableau Server. I'll also show you how you can share your Tableau dashboard with others.

As a SQL developer, I would usually write SP's that would do all this work, so learning Tableau is going to be quite easy

[svenjaschneider]

Hey Andy! Thanks for the video! If want to work on a workbook with my team, do I also just share the workbook as you showed? Or does that only permit people to view dashboards?

[banjoomotola]

Wow! Just Wow....Andy you make this so easy and simple to follow. Amazing work! I'll be sure to connect to you via LinkedIn.

I think you clicked "fix width" instead of "use as filter " when adding interaction by state, that's why it was no changes when selecting state on the map (end of film). Except that nice and quick tutorial. Thanks :)

[varunsingh]

from where to download the practice data files?

[tomtubbs]

Thanks for this - great to see how a dashboard gets created so quickly - faster than me taking notes!
One question, when you've made the dashboard interactive - when you e.g. select on a year, whilst the other years grey out, and the other vizs update to represent just that year - the titles of those vizs remain static - would there be a way for the titles to auto update to highlight that if you'd clicked on e.g. 2022, then title for one bit would be Profit by State - 2022?

Hey Andy, I don't see the source file in the description or in the link, am I missing something?
