How do you approach a new data set in Tableau? Do you spend a while studying the fields and data types? Or do you Google what other people have built using similar data? Maybe you like jumping straight into building to see how things shake out?
I lean toward the latter. Building visuals allows you to learn the data quickly, develop insights, and expose data issues (let's be honest, there are almost always wrinkles to work out of the data).
Join us as we explore an International Birth Rate data set and build line graphs, dynamic maps and slope charts to learn about how birth rates compare by country and change over time!
