Here’s a new addition to my highly-curated resources list: Tableau Tim. I occasionally write a 60-second data tip describing a particular resource, including why I think it’s cool. And I link each of these tips to a resources list on my website.
What is it?
Tableau Tim and Tableau Tim You Tube are treasure troves of videos on Tableau, a powerful tool for visualizing data in the form of interactive charts, graphs, and maps. These collections include how-tos, introductions to new functions in Tableau, quick tips, etc.
Who’s it for?
It’s really for anyone interested in learning more about Tableau, from the absolute beginner to the absolute veteran.
Who’s behind it?
Tim Ngwena is an analytics professional based at The Information Lab in the UK and a Tableau Ambassador from 2020-21.
Why I think it’s cool
Tim is what’s cool. He is an extremely good explainer. If you don’t know anything about Tableau, check out his video called Tableau explained in under 10 mins! And if you are looking for free Tableau training, you might check out his Tableau Desktop Crash Course which takes you for zero to a published dashboard in three hours.
Let’s talk about YOUR data!
Got the feeling that you and your colleagues would use your data more effectively if you could see it better? Data Viz for Nonprofits (DVN) can help you get the ball rolling with an interactive data dashboard and beautiful charts, maps, and graphs for your next presentation, report, proposal, or webpage. Through a short-term consultation, we can help you to clarify the questions you want to answer and goals you want to track. DVN then visualizes your data to address those questions and track those goals.
