What you will learn!

  • The Power and Dangerous Temptations of Map Visualization

  • How to approach answering questions like "How many Starbucks are located near a subway station?"

  • A fresh way of expressing yourself beyond traditional map visualization

  • Almost all other map-related functions used in Tableau

Tableau Map Visualization
Experience the infinite possibilities firsthand! 🗺️

Tableau, the ultimate data representation
Skill up with map visualization!

  • If we look at it broadly, it can be introduced as a grand topic of data representation in space,
  • In a narrow sense, we discuss and practice various ways to represent maps in Tableau.
  • Functionally, we'll cover almost everything related to using maps in Tableau.

👉 You can think of this lecture as the culmination of my own efforts to figure out how to best utilize the unique data representation method called 'map' !


Who is this course suitable for?

Take a close look at the information below and consider whether this course is right for you!

“I’m interested in representing information with maps, but I don’t have any expertise in maps ... 😓”

👉 That's okay! We'll start from the basics and work our way up to a fairly high level!

"Isn't the map in Tableau a bit obvious? Are there any specific tips or tricks ? 🤔"

👉 Welcome to those who think like this. Let's explore various possibilities together!

“I use maps a lot in Tableau, but it’s too much of a hassle to search Google every time I need them 🥲”

👉 All the necessary map-related functions are gathered in this lecture!

So, I especially recommend this to these people.

  • 👉 For those who like maps and want to learn
  • 👉 Those who feel that the maps they frequently use at work are somewhat stale and are considering trying something new
  • 👉 For those who want to get better at Tableau

Everything you need
I'll explain it properly.

I won't tell you the trick,
Let me explain the principle.

This course teaches techniques, but it won't stop there. When learning something new, understanding the underlying principles is paramount. Since we face the real world, not the laboratory, we need to apply what we've learned. To be able to apply that knowledge, we must first grasp the underlying principles.

I know how tedious and uninteresting learning concepts and principles can be. One of the strengths of this course is its ability to simplify concepts with as many examples, diagrams, and analogies as possible.

I won't spare anything, I'll give it all

We're generously releasing all copyright-free materials, from painstakingly crafted templates to map-related resources. Experience a new world of map visualization!

I hope you learn more about VizLab's know-how and valuable tips. Asking multiple questions will broaden your understanding and discover new possibilities you hadn't previously considered, making your learning experience even more meaningful.

This lecture continues
It will be updated

Tableau releases updated versions with new features every quarter. Looking at the trends over the past two to three years, map-related features have been strengthened. So, we can assume that new features will continue to be added in the future.

I hope you learn more about VizLab's know-how and valuable tips. Asking multiple questions will broaden your understanding and discover new possibilities you hadn't previously considered, making your learning experience even more meaningful.

Hello, this is VizLab, the creators of this course!

"I believe a quality lecture is more about experience and depth of interpretation than a wealth of knowledge. The depth of knowledge I've built by meeting countless Tableau students since 2018 is something no one can imitate or replicate. Ultimately, it's a result of the accumulation of time.

This course embodies all the experience, effort, and dedication I've put into it. I dare say it's the highest quality Tableau map-related content available today !”


What you learn in class
Check it out.

SECTION #01 | Tableau Map Visualization Basics

💡 After examining the strengths and weaknesses of map visualization, we'll delve into the fundamental "geographic role" of Tableau maps. We'll also briefly touch upon Tableau's map exploration tools.

  • Strengths and Weaknesses of Map Visualization
  • Map visualization using 'geographic roles'
  • Data exploration tools on maps
  • Map representation for custom regions
  • Map visualization at the general level

SECTION #02 | Map Visualization Using External Files

💡 We'll introduce three types of geographic boundary information you can prepare for map visualization at a level lower than the city, county, or district level. We'll also explore three ways to combine geographic boundary information with data.

  • Understanding shp/geojson/geographic boundary template files
  • Data consolidation centered on shp/geojson/geographic boundary template files
  • Map visualization using shp/geojson/geographic boundary template files

SECTION #03 | Map Visualization Using Coordinates

💡 Learn about geocoding, the process required to display point data on a map. We'll introduce three free geocoding methods and practice two methods for displaying the acquired coordinates on a Tableau map.

  • Understanding Geocoding
  • Geocoding tool
  • Map visualization using coordinates

SECTION #04 | Map-Related Functions and Features

💡 This course delves into the functions and features required to perform spatial analysis. This course focuses on practical exercises that explore the process involved in finding answers to simple business questions.

  • MAKEPOINT function and spatial join
  • Utilizing multiple layers
  • BUFFER and INTERSECTS functions
  • MAKELINE function
  • DISTANCE function

SECTION #05 | MAP CUSTOMIZATION

💡 Learn how to prepare and apply various map backgrounds available in Tableau. Let's create visually appealing and engaging maps together.

  • Background map settings Vworld & MapBox
  • Configuring a Custom Tile Map Template
  • Using scatter plot background images

After learning, see for yourself how much you have grown!

  • ✅ If you used to draw maps without much thought, now you can think about it at least once.
    'Is this map okay in this context?'
  • ✅ Now you can draw maps yourself, even though you used to just look at them like a pie in the sky due to technical difficulties.
  • ✅ The stereotypical map format and dashboard can evolve into a stylish form.

Tableau Dashboard Developer's
I will share with you some vivid know-how.

Since first starting with Tableau in 2015, I've been working as a data visualization instructor and Tableau dashboard developer for many years. Seeing is believing. Here are just a few of the map-related visualizations I've worked on.

If you're wondering, "This person's portfolio isn't bad, but maybe their lectures are a bit lacking?" There are plenty of resources you can try out beforehand. Check out a few and decide for yourself :) (Go directly to the VizLab YouTube channel >>)


Q&A 💬

Q. Do I need to pay for Tableau to take this course?

No, that's not the case. This course uses Tableau Desktop software. Tableau Desktop comes in two versions: Professional (paid) and Public (free). This course is also available using Tableau Desktop Public.

Q. I don't know anything about Tableau. I'd like to start with this course. Is that okay?

This course is not recommended. While it covers the basics of Tableau maps, it doesn't offer a detailed explanation of Tableau's fundamentals. We recommend starting with the free Welcome to Tableau World course. Completing the Tableau Level Up course will make it much easier to understand.

Q. I've used Tableau before, but I don't have much knowledge about maps. Will I be able to follow this course?

Welcome! This course is designed for you. It covers everything from a basic understanding of maps to the advanced features currently available in Tableau. I'm confident you'll find it a rewarding experience.

💾 Please check before taking the class!

  • The operating system doesn't matter whether it's Windows or macOS. Section #03 introduces an external program that doesn't work on macOS, but it processes the data before providing it, so there's no problem with the hands-on experience.
  • You can complete the exercises using Tableau Desktop Professional or Tableau Desktop Public . If possible, please use the latest version available at the time of registration. At the time of this course's release, the latest version is 2023.1. While later versions are perfectly fine, some features may not work if you're using an older version.
  • Students will be provided with a PPT describing the main learning content, a TWBX workbook, and a dataset for practice and exercises.
  • It would be even better if you refer to the book "Let's Tableau: Easy Data Visualization." (Optional)

      Tableauは初めてですが、ウェルカムトゥTableauからずっと聞いていると、コツをつかむのに良いです。地図の可視化のために急いで聞いているのですが、講義力がとても高いので、Tableauがどんなものなのか、Tableauで何ができるのかをざっと見るのに良いですね。

          講義はよく聞きました。頭の中で構想することがあったのに、やっと欲しかった講義でしたね。他のBIツールを使用してタブレットとして使用していましたが、フレンドリーな説明として理解するのは良かったです。そしてQ&Aができる点もいいですね。進行中に気になる点について質問がありそうですが、あらかじめありがとうございます。
