If you have worked with large datasets in the past, chances are you’ve used a spreadsheet program like Excel to present the numbers visually. Excel is the most popular tool of its kind, but sometimes you might want something with a little more pizazz when creating presentations for higher-level executives or other important stakeholders. For these purposes, a data visualization tool like Tableau is the perfect complement to Excel or any other data source used in your business.
Tableau is known for its simple, coding-free interface which allows its users to create robust data dashboards and reports that anyone in your organization will understand at first glance. You can import spreadsheets from anywhere you manage your data, including Excel, QuickBooks, and Google Sheets—it can even import data from multiple systems at once. Among career paths such as data analytics, marketing, and business, Tableau is a useful skill that can set your reporting abilities apart and make a lasting impression.
Since Tableau is a tool used in data visualization and reporting, it is a helpful skill in positions that leverage a high amount of data in their daily duties. Marketing, Business, and Digital Analysts are all likely to use Tableau regularly. Each Analyst role might create dashboards in a slightly different way, but they can all benefit from learning the ins and outs of the tool. No matter which field you decide to pursue, you’ll need additional experience and training to qualify for these positions.
Salaries for most Tableau career opportunities in Orange County range between $70,000 and $90,000 annually. This range falls near the local median and is far more than you would make in other entry-level positions in the area. Since there are a variety of industries employing Analysts, you can look for jobs in several of Orange County’s key sectors including high tech as well as Professional and Business Services. A popular OC tech company like Blizzard, for example, would likely employ Data Analysts to run reports on sales and other business insights for new and existing games.
New Horizons and ONLC are the only providers with in-person Tableau classes in Orange County at the moment, although ONLC’s courses are taught by a remote instructor at their onsite computer lab.
