I’ve put together a Twitter list, Data Viz Heroes, that might be a good starting point for you. These are just a few of my favorite users to learn Tableau from. Remember, this is not a comprehensive list of every outstanding Tableau user, but a short list of users whose style aligns with how I want to use the software. Some of these users have created aggregated learning resources from several users in the community. One of my favorites is the Data + Science Tableau Reference Guide, maintained by Jeffrey Shaffer ( If you can’t quite find what you’re looking for, there is an active community of Tableau users answering specific questions on the community forums. Lastly, get involved with a local Tableau User Group.

This is a free resource where you can meet local Tableau users and learn from what others are doing. Many of my Data Viz Heroes often speak at these meetings. These user groups are all over the world-use this handy Tableau User Group map to find the one closest to you and reach out to the leader to get involved. No matter how many blog posts you’ve read, sometimes you just need to talk to somebody who can help you connect the dots between what you are learning. Attending a Tableau training or data visualization workshop can help you take your skills a significant step forward in a short amount of time.

Tableau training comes in many shapes and sizes, and as with the tip about following the community, you should choose your Tableau training based on what you are hoping to get out of the software at this point in your development. If you would like a recorded training, I recommend the resources available at O’Reilly’s Safari Books Online, Udemy, Pluralsight, or Playfair Data TV. Several of these recorded trainings are taught by qualified instructors, including my Data Viz Heroes.

If you are in need of in-person training, you can attend a one-day training at Tableau’s annual customer conference, a group training conducted by Tableau, an on-site training conducted by Tableau, or an on-site training conducted by a third-party trainer. I attended a group training conducted by Tableau during my second year using the software, and a condensed “analyst” training at a Tableau conference in my third year using it. I can personally attest to the value that attending an in-person training provides. I’d be a bad consultant if I didn’t mention my Tableau training offering and encourage you to get in touch if you are interested in my personal training services. There are simply some good books on Tableau available to learn from.

This is a great starting point for learning Tableau, and one we sometimes take for granted. When I started using Tableau (“Back in my day….”), there was only one book that I can remember, and it was a very short one. I’m obviously biased toward the book you are currently reading, but among several other great options, here are two that I vouch for: There are now dozens of such resources available. This book is possibly the best all-around-ahem, non– Practical Tableau-resource for getting started with Tableau.
