Course overview
In this course, you’ll learn how to employ quick table calculations, add secondary table calculations, and write custom advanced calculations. You’ll also learn the various levels of data granularity as well as the aggregation methodology to write LOD expressions (level of detail).
You’ll learn to make your dashboards interactive using sets, parameters, viz in tooltip and other elements — and you’ll also learn to improve their readability by adding and configuring trend lines, reference bands, and distributions.
Best of all, you’ll learn by doing — you’ll practice and get feedback directly in the browser.
