Data Society’s Analyze Temporal Data for Forecasting and Trend-Spotting learning path gives technical teams the ability to turn time-based data into clear, forward-facing insight.

From Static Reports to Self-Service Insight: Unlock What Tableau Was Meant to Do

You’ve seen it before.

An executive needs a number for a meeting, “Just a quick pull”, and a data analyst spends two hours wrangling spreadsheets to deliver a chart no one asks about again.

Or a marketing lead opens a dashboard, scrolls through five tabs, and still emails the analyst to ask, “Can you tell me what this means?”

This isn’t a technology problem. It’s a visibility problem.

Your organization doesn’t just need dashboards. It needs people who can build, explore, and explain data quickly and clearly. It needs tools that empower, not just inform.

That’s what this learning path is built to unlock.

A Learning Path for Teams Who Need to Work Smarter with Data

Data Society’s Explore and Visualize Data in Tableau to Empower Teams learning path is designed for organizations ready to turn Tableau from a static reporting tool into a dynamic engine for decision-making.

In guided, instructor-led labs, learners move beyond templated dashboards and rigid charts. They learn how to prepare and clean data, build interactive dashboards with filters and parameters, and perform advanced calculations using built-in syntax and level-of-detail expressions.

Instead of chasing numbers, teams will start driving insight.

The People This Path Supports

This path was built for the people behind your dashboards and the people relying on them.

Whether they’re creating visualizations, reviewing metrics, or empowering others to explore, this training supports:
– Data analysts and BI developers are responsible for trusted dashboards
– CX, marketing, and ops teams who deliver reports to internal teams
– Product and strategy leads who need self-service tools they can trust
– Engineers preparing and integrating datasets in Tableau Prep
– IT and support teams managing Tableau products

If someone on your team opens Tableau and still opens Excel to “make sure,” this course is for them.

What Your Teams Will Learn

This learning path includes two deeply practical courses that teach your team how to:
– Connect and clean multiple data sources using Tableau Prep
– Design dashboards that invite exploration through filters and drill-downs
– Perform in-platform calculations with table and LOD expressions
– Use Tableau syntax to conduct deeper analysis without leaving the platform
– Reduce report backlog and empower decision-makers to ask their own questions

By the end, your analysts will stop being bottlenecks, and your stakeholders will start getting answers directly from the tools they use.

Customized to Your Business, Not Just the Software

Every program begins with a conversation. We learn about your goals, systems, and the questions your teams are trying to answer. Then we tailor the course content to fit your reality.

That might include internal KPIs, proprietary datasets, or custom dashboards already in use. We also welcome subject matter experts from your team to contribute context and examples, making the experience even more relevant.

All training is instructor-led and backed by Data Society’s Learning Hub and Virtual Teaching Assistant, so your teams stay engaged and supported every step of the way.

Why Now

Your people want to work with data. They just need the right tools and training to do it well.

Tableau, used properly, can help teams ask better questions, test assumptions, and move faster. But for that to happen, they need more than a login. They need fluency.

This learning path gives them that fluency, and helps build a culture where data is not just accessible but actionable.
