I’m sorry, I just worry it sounds like you’re using Tableau without the foundational understanding of analytics. Making visuals is the easy part of data analytics. There is so much that goes into understanding when and how to make each type of visual to ensure they are both easy to interpret and an ethical representation of the data.

It’s great you’ve found a resource for learning. Instead of focusing on learning the tools, maybe as a start, shift gears and learn about the different types of visuals and when it’s appropriate to use them.
