Learn on your own: Preparing your own data
The ideal data format for Tableau has a column for each variable, with the column titles in the top row (see image to right). However, data rarely is presented to us in such a clean format! Use the tutorials found at https://www.tableau.com/learn/tutorials/on-demand/getting-started-data to learn more about preparing and using complex data in Tableau.
The screenshot to the right shows data appropriately formatted for Tableau, and is from the Tableau tutorial video "Data Prep with Text and Excel Files"
