Technical requirements
You will need the following to learn from this chapter:
- A Tableau Desktop application. Most versions will work with the exam, but for best results, use 2021.1 or more recent. The location of current downloads is https://www.tableau.com/products/desktop/download. This version is not free but has a 2-week trial.
- A version that meets all the functionality needs of Tableau Desktop but is free is Tableau Public. It does not have all the data and extension functionality of the Tableau Desktop application, but everything you need for the Tableau Desktop certification. It is available here: https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/download. If you've downloaded it already, please use version 2021.1 or later.
- Superstore Sales dataset. It automatically comes with the Tableau Desktop application but can also be pulled into the Tableau Public application by downloading from Tableau Resources here: https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/resources?qt-overview_resources...
