Course Objectives

A valued data practitioner can delve deep into the data and draw integrated insights to answer stakeholders’ complex data problems. Such flair is possible with higher-level data manipulation skills as well as fluency in explaining discoveries, insights, and limitations on the analyses performed. If you already have some basic knowledge in visualization and wish to level up your visual analytics skills, this is the course for you. This course is a continuation of the basic course Data Visualization Begins With Me. In this course, we will be diving into advanced-level skills, shifting towards more sophisticated visualizations that you can easily create to enhance your analysis. We will also be learning how to build formulas and expressions made up of functions and operators that can be combined to perform advanced calculations to better analyze your data. Together with the practical hands-on activities and project work, this will further enhance your learning experience and reinforce the skills and knowledge you acquired to better perform in your role at work.

At the end of the course, learners will be able to:

• Articulate the important principles in creating effective visualizations for data communication.
• Create calculated fields using built-in functions and operators in the data tools.
• Create responsive visualizations using calculated fields or built-in functions to enhance the interactivity in visualizations and/or dashboards.
• Apply advanced building techniques to create impactful analysis with the visualizations.
• Build interactive visualizations and dashboards using real world scenarios to tell compelling stories.
