Description
CPA Members only
CPA Australia has partnered with the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) to curate a collection of data and digital courses exclusively for CPA members. CFI courses have an emphasis on hands-on, practical learning and skills acquisition. They teach in-demand industry practices, tools and techniques that help accounting and finance professionals build confidence, stand out from the competition, and make a positive impact on their careers.
This course provides step-by-step instructions on how to build stunning, interactive visuals in Tableau, before publishing them as part of dashboards in Tableau Public. You’ll learn techniques that help you prep and manipulate your data, before creating calculations that help deliver business insights.
The course features hands-on examples and application using alternative scenarios. We also provide a fresh dataset for the final assessment, giving you yet another dataset on which to test your skills.
By the end of the course you’ll be able to create interactive dashboards in Tableau that will deliver powerful and meaningful data backed stories. You’ll be proficient in the basics of Tableau Public, and you’ll have a few tricks up your sleeve to create visuals, and dashboards that impress.
This CFI course involves specific technical requirements, so we encourage you to review them here.
