    • Create worksheets with various data tables and visualizations
    • Create parameters for user input
    • Construct dimension hierarchies

    Technical Requirements

    Participants will need to have Tableau Desktop 2018 or later (14-day trial version is available from Tableau) or a Tableau Server/Tableau Online “Creator” license (free resources are available if you create an account on Tableau Public). Text files of Slot, Table Games, and Carded Player data will be provided. If using Desktop, you will need to be able to save these files in a place where you can access them. If using Online / Server / Public, then please upload the files to your Tableau site prior to the start of the course. You will be coding along with the instructor, so a dual monitor setup is highly recommended.


    The class will be conducted via Zoom meetings. We recommend installing the Zoom desktop app rather than using a web browser for better functionality.
