Tableau for Beginners - Learn how to create charts in Tableau in quick, easy steps!
Want to test-run your Tableau skills? I have put together some sample questions that you can try out. The first batch is using Superstore, but I will add more in the coming weeks.

This video gives you a quick, step-by-step tutorial on how to create 15 (plus 1 bonus) basic charts in Tableau without relying on Show Me.
Show Me is a great chart idea starter. However, because it automatically generates charts, you can spend more time reverse engineering what it did to make your charts look like how you want them. This can become confusing and frustrating especially if you are just starting to learn Tableau.
Each demo also has a "quick recipe card" to show the main components and placement of pills for each chart.
Timecodes
0:00 - Intro
0:24 - What is "Show Me"?
0:54 - Bar Chart
1:18 - Line Chart (or time series graph)
2:01 - Adding trend line to your line chart
2:11 - Area chart
3:00 - Scatter plot
4:04 - Pie Chart
4:43 - Symbol Map
5:31 - Filled Map
5:50 - Text Table (or crosstab)
6:38 - Heat Map
7:20 - Highlight Table
8:20 - Tree Map
9:13 - Bubble Chart (or packed bubble)
10:21 - Box and whisker plot
11:41 - Histogram
12:28 - Bullet Chart
14:15 - Gantt Chart
14:58 - Word Cloud
Disclaimer: I am only showing you a quick tutorial but am not discussing what the charts are, what they're used for, when they're effective, and other considerations. I will leave those for different videos :)

Hello Kazuhiko, Thank you so much for leaving this note and your feedback. Tableau is a great tool that I use almost daily in work, and I love working with it. I wish you all the best in this data journey - I am sure you will find it both exciting and fulfilling working in this space! All the best, Donabel

I came here to work on a project, but I ended up spending over an hour with this content. As I practiced, I realized I was learning everything from scratch with a deeper conceptual understanding. The more I explore your contents, the more intriguing I find it. This is one of the best and most important conceptual resources for Tableau beginners. Kudos to you!

Reference lines provide baseline and context, so they can be helpful in understanding the numbers in your graphs 2. Happy to go over some dashboard tutorials with floating components 3. File > Export as PowerPoint - but some words of caution. Have to be careful and need to evaluate what you are losing when you do this. Always going to be a tradeoff.

Awesome quick way of creating word cloud using Tableau. I was thinking along the lines of Twitter, if I extract twitter tweets and load it into tableau to create a word cloud to show most common words, but does Tableau support unstructured data (text) or does the data have to be structured in rows and column format ? Thanks!

@sqlbelle 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Nishi - thank you for your comment. You will still need to prepare the data, using tools like Tableau Prep, Excel Power Query, or scripting language like Python to split up the words so we can visualize and analyze in Tableau.

I love Bubble Charts - those people are crazy ha! Although, what I call Bubble Charts are actually 3D Scatter Plots. At work, we visualize this with sales as the size of the bubble. What you show as Bubble Charts would be useful if you wanted to see something such as impact of expenses on total expenses.

@sqlbelle 3 жыл бұрын

I find it's very effective with engaging some types of audiences. A bubble chart can catch people's attention, and once they're interested, we can show more ... traditional charts :)

Video Suggestion: A quick guide on how you format charts and dashboards before sending it to clients or a boss. From what I've gathered Tableau is the best at telling stories very quickly. But the formating options are clunky, it's probably because I don't understand them well enough.

@sqlbelle 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Daniel, will do. But you are right, Tableau is great for visualizing, exploring and really interactive dashboards. There will be challenges if you will be sharing Tableau in a different format (for example, if in PDF or PowerPoint). It is really best consumed as an interactive display (either on Tableau Reader or Tableau Online or Server), but will be happy to put together some tips and tricks on sharing Tableau dashboards in different formats. Thank you again for your comment :) much appreciated!

@@sqlbelle I think that's also very important. My apologies though because I don't think I said it well enough. I'm talking about making your final product (Dashboards and Charts) look good and easy to navigate. I know that the most important part is the data and what you're trying to say. I can't help but want to make it look a little cleaner than the default settings. Do you have any design tips to make them look a little more client-facing? Hope that makes more sense. And Thank you!

@@Hooleey Thank you and appreciate all the responses and clarifications :) Yes, I will plan to have some dashboard videos and incorporate some tips and tricks to polish the dashboards. I'll probably dedicate a few videos for this series. Some tips though right off the bat (which I will mention in the videos as well): - getting the client's colors for branding (possibly creating a palette specifically for your client) - cleaning up gridlines, unwanted tooltips (ie turning them off for certain sections) - adding typical components (like logo, data source, date last updated etc) - Sometimes, adding some text instructions can help (depending on how familiar your client is with Tableau) Thanks again for this suggestion! Will definitely plan to have this video :)

I've tried to do a word cloud, however it instead displays as a tree map. I'm using the sample superstore dataset and I've used the blue pill dimension "product name" for text, as well as the green pill "Quantity" for size. I've attempted substituting "Quantity" for "Profit" as well as "Sales" but neither provide a word cloud - they all display as a tree map. Any ideas on why this could be?
