Welcome to the Canvas subject for the University Library's Tableau workshop! There are several different Tableau products available, we will be working with Tableau Desktop in this workshop. Tableau Desktop is a tool for analyzing and visualizing data (more information here).

You can find the example data set we will use in the actual workshop under Modules in the left side menu . If you have data of your own you would like to work with you can of course bring those as well, but we will all be starting with the same data set to learn the basics. We would like you to download and install Tableau Desktop on your PC before the workshop.

If you are a student you can request a student license here.

If you are an employee at UiS and you plan to use Tableau Desktop for teaching and/or non commercial academic use you can request a teaching license. If you wonder if you meet these criteria you can follow the link to the teaching license form, and read the additional terms and conditions. If you plan to use Tableau Desktop in e.g. adminstration, please request the free 14-day trial.

If you have any problems downloading and/or installing, please contact Tableau customer service before the workshop.

The workshop is based on the PC version of Tableau Desktop, and we will not show the Mac version, but it is possible for Mac users to attend the workshop.
