Workshop preparation

Preparation for this tutorial consists of two steps: Getting the data and Getting the software. Follow the steps below.

Get the data

You will have an opportunity to download the data during the workshop; however, if you would like to do so ahead of time, it can be downloaded here.

Get the software

This hands-on workshop uses Tableau, a software application for data visualization. We ask that you download Tableau in advance of the workshop to be able to participate in it to the fullest extent.

You have three options for downloading Tableau:

  1. Tableau Public (limited version)
  2. A 14-day trial of Tableau Desktop
  3. A 1-year instructor or student license for Tableau Desktop for academic purposes

The three options will be discussed further during the workshop; for now, we recommend Tableau Public or the 14-day trial of Tableau Desktop. Please contact the Sherman Centre if you have any difficulties downloading or opening the software.
