Great resource for improving Tableau proficiency for healthcare analysts
Donât let the title fool you. The HealthDataViz team who wrote this book, The Best Boring Book Ever of Tableau for Healthcare, make learning to use Tableau engaging by including relevant examples from healthcare and make it easy-to-follow through meticulous lay-out of the instructions. The examples include downloadable datasets from the HealthDataViz.com website to provide hands-on experience completing the exercises for those who have access to Tableau.This book delivers three things in one package: Tableau training that includes exercises with step-by-step reviews at the end of each chapter; data visualization tips and techniques from the authors who are dataviz experts; and examples that healthcare analysts can build on for real-world applications. In sum, this book is valuable as an ongoing reference long after using it initially as a text for learning how to use Tableau in a healthcare setting.

A good purchase and read
This book is provides the reader with a good understanding Tableau for healthcare and here’s why:* Healthcare data makes the examples relatable to healthcare professionals* Step by step instructions with the fine points of how to create really great graphs is like no other book — great approach to presenting the material* You can open the book to any chapter and be able to create the chart type from start to finish* Love the HDVIZOOM summary at the end of each chapter* You can download the data from the HDV website for all of the examples in the book* Inclusion of summary best practices is terrific — because the tool is never to the total solution — you also need to understand data visualization and this book addresses that

Very good book; would like to have seen more in …
Very good book; would like to have seen more in depth discussion of calculated fields, level of detail, writing custom equations, and some of the thought processes surrounding view and function selections. For example, when is it better to use groups, over sets, over filters, etc.

Great for learning about Tableau!
This book has been great for learning Tableau! The healthcare examples make it easy to learn with data sets that make sense to me. Each exercise builds upon itself, so I was able to go at my own pace, and after having worked through the book, it still serves as a great reference when I need a refresher on a Tableau viz or technique. My book came in great condition with nice big pictures and helpful call outs.

Printer error
Unfortunately, the book I received is printed wrong. The pages are in reverse order starting at 388 and going to 1 at the back of the book. The index is at the beginning and table of contents at the end. Chapters are in reverse order as well.I’ve requested a replacement from Amazon, so hopefully the next copy is correct.UPDATE: Amazon sent a replacement at no charge. It arrived in good condition and printed in the proper order!

Great Tableau tutorial. Well structured and covers a LOT.
Great book for someone wanting to learn Tableau, and, for more experienced users wanting to up their game. Extremely well documented, very easy to follow, and, very thorough explanations all the way through. The book covers a LOT of ground – highly recommended.I’ve been using Tableau for 10 years, and, am a Tableau officially designated Zen Master – I learned quite a few things from this book.Do not let the “Healthcare” part in the title fool you – the book uses healthcare data, easily understood by everyone, but, all examples and processes are applicable to any industry.

Super handy reference
Lifesaver if you are new to Tableau. Reads like a College text book, but nice to have. If your work is locking search windows and preventing multiple tabs, you will be glad you have this manual. (And yes, in the year 2020, there are companies doing Luddite maneuvers-who also want great dashboards)

A great book on using Tableau in a health care setting
This is a great book on using Tableau in a health care setting. It covers all the basics of Tableau and works best getting analysts who are new to Tableau up to speed on the platform. The datasets used in the examples are available from their website so new users can follow along to make sure they know what they are doing. The book tops out around the intermediate level though so if you are an advanced user your skill will probably already be beyond what it covered in the book.
