About Module 9

Module 9 unlocks Tableau’s most powerful interactive capabilities with parameters, data organization tools, and sophisticated chart types. This module transforms static visualizations into dynamic, user-driven charts through parameters that enable what-if analysis, interactive controls, and scenario modeling. You’ll also master advanced data organization using groups, sets, and hierarchies to structure complex datasets effectively. The module concludes with creating specialized chart types like divergent stacked bars, histograms, and funnel charts, plus working with data blends to combine multiple data sources seamlessly.


By the end of module 9, you will be able to:

  • Create and configure parameters for interactive visualizations
  • Apply parameters to filters, calculations, and reference lines
  • Build what-if analysis dashboards using parameter controls
  • Organize data effectively using groups, sets, and hierarchies
  • Combine sets to create complex data classifications
  • Create divergent stacked bar charts and histograms
  • Build funnel charts and dynamic bump charts
  • Work with data blends and merge multiple data sources

“The instructor is very knowledgeable and teaches at a reasonable pace to allow for understanding of new material. The handout was detailed and followed along with our class exercises.” Alexandra B.
