Tableau Resources, “just in case”

• In theory you can sign up for a student license here

And here are some other possibly relevant Tableau resources in case they are of interest.

• My 2020 lecture on Tableau
  • Password sent in Sakai
• Tableau’s “Getting Started” tutorial, which covers core concepts such as Measures and Dimensions
• Tableau’s detailed documentation on data types, which IMO is the most crucial and tricky part of using Tableau
