To get the most out of this book
This book is aimed at those who are new to Tableau or have never opened the application. It assumes no knowledge of Tableau. Although all exercises come with step-by-step instructions and prior knowledge is not required, having a background in Excel formulas, SQL, and/or using data visualizations in another tool will reduce the learning curve and help you pick things up quicker. You will need to set aside 25-40 hours over 2 weeks to read, practice, take the mock exam, and review the additional study materials.
