14:53:21 Hi! Everybody! Welcome back in this video. We're going to get you started with tableau.
14:53:26 So the first thing you're gonna need to do is to sign up with a tableau public profile, create a profile if you haven't already so you can get to the page where you can do that by clicking on this link and here's what it looks like so what you'll do
14:53:40 is. Once you get here you'll click on sign up for tableau.
14:53:43 Public that my cursor is currently hovering over and then it'll take you to this little pop-up, or you can fill in the information you need to fill in to create your profile.
14:53:52 Once you have a profile you can sign into that, it into it.
14:53:56 If you'd like if it's not already signed in for you, I would.
14:54:00 You want to make one quick note that within, in the near future I've been told that tableau is going to be combining both the public profile with regular tableau profiles.
14:54:10 So these instructions may change by the time you're watching this video.
14:54:14 If so, just follow whatever tableau's current instructions are for creating.
14:54:20 A profile. So you can access their public software.
14:54:29 So the next thing you're gonna need to do is get the public desktop app in order to get that, you can go to this link which I currently have opened.
14:54:39 It looks like this. What you'll do is click on this button download tableau. Public.
14:54:43 And quickly before I keep going. This is currently, I believe, only available for windows.
14:54:49 And Mac. So if you're windows, and Mac keep paying attention if you run Linux, I have some instructions where you can use the online version of the app to make your visualization, so you'll go ahead.
14:55:00 If you're working with windows, and Mac click the download tableau public button, this will pop up.
14:55:08 Just fill it out. This is letting them know who's downloading the app.
14:55:11 Once you fill it out, you can download the app, and you'll be ready to go.
14:55:15 Once you have the download app button click to just follow the instructions of the installer and go step by step after you have it installed I will open it up right now so you can see at the bottom of my screen tableau public is popping up and down it takes a little bit to
14:55:34 load, but once it loads it looks like this and you'll see yours will not have this.
14:55:40 This is stuff that's particular to my version of the app, but you will see things like connect, vis of the day if you're connected to the Internet and so forth.
14:55:50 So now that's basically for Mac and Window. So if you're running, Mac and windows, you're ready to move on to the next video if you're running Linux, let's go over how you can get to a tableau public online, so if you're running Linux you'll need to
14:56:04 probably use the online version unless the app does work for your operating system.
14:56:10 So you're going to first need to sign into your account using the sign in button.
14:56:15 If you have not already signed in, then you're going to go to the Creator.
14:56:19 Tab and click on web authoring. So once you do, once you have done that, you'll see something like this pop up where you can have your connection to data as well as in the background, you'll see new workbook tableau public so we'll cover all of this I will point out I will be using the
14:56:39 desktop app and all the videos. But all you'll need to do is drag and drop the data files into here, and you'll be good to go to follow along for the rest of it.
14:56:48 I believe it should be pretty one to one with the desktop app.
14:56:51 Okay. So now you know, and should hopefully be set up with tableau public for either windows.
