Creating a simple business KPI dashboard in Tableau

In this Tableau Academy course we introduce you to reporting on and visualising key performance indicators (KPIs) by taking you through a project to create a simple to use and understand business KPI dashboard. The dashboard you'll build will enable everyone within your organisation to see how the business is performing against their key targets and how they can contribute to the success of the company.
