This book has everything you need to get you up to speed and become well adept at using Tableau. The best additions for passing the certification exam are the mock test questions that are included. They are very similar to the ones on the actual exam. The practice problems are great and the author did a really good job explaining concepts and features of Tableau. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone starting off with tableau and definitely for anyone looking to get certified.

This book is a comprehensive collection of 9 chapters which span the most essential Tableau functionality from Data Types and Data Transformations to Publishing and Managing Content. All covered topics in this book are explained in context with the certification exam in mind.This material not only serves as a test taking resource, but is also a capable source of reference for the experienced Tableau developer or Tableau novice. The writing style of Harry Cooney and Daisy Jones provide a common sense explanation of each chapter's subject matter. The section on Data in chapterone reveal a concise yet informative explanation of relational databases, cubes, spatial files, flat files, statistical files; providing pros and cons of real time dynamic queries verses tables, views and data extracts in regards to performance.Data Transformation topics in the second chapter speak to arguably the most important tasks when planning a report or database. This chapter dives into several topics from comparing and contrasting the dimensions and measures data for a worksheet to examining data types and determining which are most useful when presenting a chart or visualization. From experience, data transformation in both Tableau and PowerBI require the greatest effort in planning for ensuring accuracy.Chapter 3, the Transformation Chapter covers Data Interpretation, Data Prep Builder, Joins, Unions using specific examples from a downloadable data set.Level of Detail calculations, calculated fields, math functions, trigonometric and string functions along with a myriad of case logic and windows functions are also covered with specific examples in the chapter.The subsequent chapters on visualizations and dashboard creation delve into meaningful tools and demonstration of the different types of dashboards that could be constructed using either a floating or tile formats, sizing, order of floating elements, etc. The later chapters discuss formatting, trend lines, scatter plots, geometric maps, charts, line graphs, and eventually Publishing.The reader can scan a QR code or click on the Packt link provide at the end of each chapter and login to access each test. I agree with the authors' recommendation to take the practice exams at least three times with the goal of improving the test score while decreasing theamount of time with each practice test. This recommended strategy, I believe will give the reader success on the exam. If and when I take seek this certification, this book will be my primary tool in prepping for the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam.

Daisy and Harry have clearly set up all that you need to know for the certification. I train a lot of people in Tableau and have used the software for over a decade and I really like how they've gone about writing to the best level of detail. This book isn't everything you will ever need to use Tableau (or it would be four or five times longer) but is a great way to form a very solid base knowledge with the Tableau suite of tools. There's some great nuggets of detail that are very easy to overlook in the tool too so even experienced users of Tableau can fill some knowledge gaps.

I had the pleasure of reviewing this book.This one is definitely an excellent resource for Tableau users who are planning to appear for the certification exam. It's also a valuable resource for business analysts, business intelligence professionals, and data analysts who want to strengthen their understanding and solve complex business intelligence problems.The book begins with the basics, covering all the essentials needed to start your Tableau journey.Here are some key features I liked:Each topic is presented in a structured, step by step manner which is easy to follow while practicing.One of the standout features of this book is the wealth of exercises and practical examples that will boost your confidence for the exam.Chapter on Calculations: The authors did an excellent job of explaining how to use Calculated Fields, Table Calculations, Fixed Level of Detail, and Date Calculations to manipulate data easily and visualize it in various ways, all in a simple and clear manner.Detailed section on Parameters and its use cases to add interactivity and flexibility to the view.One of the aspects I appreciate most about this book, aside from its comprehensive coverage of exam topics, is how it guides you in understanding the reasoning behind making specific choices when creating a view. This ultimately aids in achieving your storytelling goals, rather than merely presenting visual facts from the data.I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn tableau and is looking to get certified.
