Mastering Data Visualization

First of all, we will discuss the applications of NumPy and why it is popular. Afterwards you will learn various possible options to create different arrays in NumPy.

It's now time to learn how to use index notation to retrieve specific elements or subsets of data from arrays. You will also learn how to use indices to retrieve data based on certain conditions and handle missing values.

There are quite few of common operations on arrays which you may want to perform. Luckily, NumPy has built-in functions and methods for this purpose which you will learn here.

It's time to discover how to efficiently use mathematical operations on NumPy arrays and apply them in some real-world problems.

In this section, we'll explore the fundamentals of Series and DataFrame structures. You'll also learn about the distinctions between these two types of structures.

Data can be sourced in various formats, such as CSV, JSON, SQL, HTML, and more. With Pandas, you're not limited to a single format — you can work with data across a multitude of file types. In this chapter, we'll specifically focus on the CSV and TXT formats.

Here, you'll learn how to process raw data by removing extraneous information and managing null values in a dataset.

First, we will discuss plotting applications, Matplotlib library, and its advantages. Afterwards you will create your first simple plot using Matplotlib.

Now you are ready to create various commonly used in practice plots. Without further ado, let's dive in right now!

Plotting and visualization is not only about creating a plot or several plots, it is also about making them clear, understandable and pleasant to look at. Time to learn plots customization in maplotlib, let's do it!

Statistics is essential in working with data, hence why it is extremely important to know how to create various statistical plots. Now it's time for us to explore the most common ones.

Seaborn is another powerful plotting library in Python built on top of matplotlib. Now that you are familiar with matplotlib, it's time to dive into visualization with seaborn.

Dive into the world of Power BI and build a solid foundation. You'll cover everything from installation and setup to connecting data sources and creating your first report.

Explore essential data preparation techniques, including cleaning, transforming, and combining multiple data sources. You'll also tackle handling missing values, data profiling, and various data manipulation methods.

Master the fundamentals of data modeling, from understanding data models and creating relationships to getting the hang of DAX basics. You'll also learn to create measures and calculated columns.

Discover various visualization techniques and customize visuals for better insights. You'll also explore advanced features like slicers, filters, and drill-down/drill-through capabilities to enhance your data analysis.

Boost the usability and storytelling power of your reports by using themes, configuring report pages, and leveraging advanced features like the Analyze feature and identifying outliers. You'll also create groups, bins, and clusters for deeper insights.

This section lays the groundwork for mastering Tableau by guiding you through installation, navigation, and foundational operations. From performing joins and splitting columns to understanding filters, marks, and the data pane, you will be equipped with essential tools for data exploration and visualization.

This section delves into Tableau's powerful tools for data organization, filtering, and customization. You'll learn to differentiate dimensions and measures, work with continuous and discrete fields, and create calculated fields and interactive dashboards. Through practical challenges, you'll apply these tools to analyze data, uncover insights, and enhance your visualizations.

This section focuses on creating impactful visualizations to uncover patterns and trends in your data. From heatmaps and scatter plots to treemaps and combination charts, you'll explore a variety of chart types tailored to different analytical needs.

This section introduces advanced visualization techniques to enhance data analysis and storytelling. You'll learn to create bullet graphs, stacked area charts, histograms, and box plots, enabling deeper insights into trends, distributions, and comparisons.
