Happy New Year!
For those of you who like to set goals, I hope we can help you level up your skills in Tableau this year. This first month, our aim is to bring you challenges that are accessible to everyone who feels they are at a Beginner to Intermediate level. We hope you can dive into these each week, dedicating a little of your time to learning new things and building your Tableau Public portfolios.
