Explore your data in new ways with interactive dashboards in Tableau. Dashboards act like dynamic reports that can be used for in-depth data analysis or to present information to clients. In this course, Nate Makdad shows you how to create them. He shows how to build and format the worksheets that will feed your dashboard, design the dashboard itself, and add interactive parameters that allow users to customize the display. Along the way, you'll learn how to use some basic principles of visual design to make your dashboards easier to use and more visually appealing.
