Tableau for Research (Workshop)

Workshop level: Beginner

The Research Commons Tableau for Research workshop introduces Ohio State faculty and graduate students to Tableau, a no-code, drag and drop solution for creating visually engaging and impactful data visualizations. Workshop participants will learn to:

• Navigate the Tableau workspace and develop strategies for locating and critically evaluating freely available data;
• Connect, shape and prepare data for the Tableau workspace;
• Choose the most effective visual for what you are trying to show with the data you’ve collected;
• Describe and demonstrate key concepts, including aggregation and level-of-detail, addressing and partitioning, and when to use continuous versus discrete dates; and
• Apply visualization best practices to create impactful, engaging visualizations.

The workshop content will be delivered live, and one-on-one support will be provided for practice activities and applying the workshop material to your own research data.
