[archived] Data Visualisation for Beginners: PowerBI and Tableau

Data visualisation is an essential tool to communicate your research findings.

In this workshop, we cover the basic purposes and principles of data visualisation, followed by a split demonstration session where participants choose PowerBI or Tableau.

This online workshop will show you how to:

• Stay focused on purpose and audience when creating data visualisations.

• Select visualisations that best reflect your research findings.

• Color-code, style, format, and enhance your visualisations.

• Create basic visualisations in Microsoft PowerBI or Tableau

Please select PowerBI or Tableau when registering. The session will breakout at 3pm into these groups.
