Tableau Basics for Beginners - Tableau in Two Minutes

In this longer-format training video, we walk through everything you need to build your first dashboard, from connecting to data, building a viz, adding it to a dashboard, using filters, and putting together your first dashboard actions.

This tutorial is designed to help build a foundation for novice/beginner users before they move on to some of the more advanced videos we have on various Tableau features and techniques.

Thank you SO much! I am in a Data & Analytics course in grad school and this has saved my life! :)

[mikeferry]

That's the longest 2 minutes ever - but great info

[aminahmakanga]

I clicked on this video only because it had promised to teach tableau in 2 minutes but I have watched the entire video and all I want to say is thank you for the good work done

Can you make a "Tableau explained in 10 seconds" video and then make the video 5 hours?

[davidleech]

I learned as much in 20 minutes as a 5 hour workshop attempted to teach today. Came here for clarification and left with more than I had possibly hoped for - excellent resource!

I was given a Tableau task at my new dream job and I literally installed and started it for the first time a couple of hours ago. Your lesson is truly informative and it answered almost every question I had up to this point. Thank you!

This is so much better than the tutorials on the Tableau website. Those videos don't explain anything about what you're doing or why. This on the other hand actually explained a lot. Thank you!

[vaibhavagrawal]

This video is so easy to understand. I used Tableau for the first time in my life and was able to create a dashboard under an hour after watching this video. Thanks a lot.

[amiralikhan]

Thanks .. the video literally summarizes most capabilities of Tableau like in two minutes!

[michaelolson]

I've been interviewing for a job that requires Tableau and this video gave good insight. Thank you for uploading this!

[AmbreenJaved-fp]

I have watched so many tutorials on youtube, no one shared this much detail. Thank you so much

[cam]

I wish you were my teacher for my Biz Analytics class. Wonderfully explained

[wandirizaliano]

you posted 2018 and I just learned it from you.
Damn! How far I left behind in this kind of knowledge or tech.
Thank you for the free lesson.
May May Allah gives you a reward not only the monetizing you got from youtube.

[BBURNS]

Wow- I had watched the video created by Tableau of the same subject 3-4 times and still was confused. I watched yours and I finally understand! Thanks so much!

[ImYala]

I learned as much as I could in 2 minutes within 20 minutes!

[arvaabhyoso]

Tableau in Two-enty three minutes. Thanks for the tutorial anyway! :D

Life-saver video! I have my Info Visualization class tonight and I have zero tableau experience! Grad school has me juggling b/w so many tasks and assignments. So this quick video comes as a life saver indeed. Thanks so much! Regards from Seattle.

[mohammedmaqdoombiyabani]

I heard a lot about Tableau and its usage and the first time I watched the video on this topic, it looks simple to begin and maybe complex as we move on ... thanks for the video...

[ravimemories]

You really made my life quite easier to create a dashboards using Tableau, really easy and simply you explained the dashboarding.

[elguate]

I'm getting into data science and analytics atm and honestly this software looks so much fun and the interface is just amazing. Can't wait to be done with my python and sql learning to get my hands into this.
