In Tableau, connect to the saved file and drag the desired sheets into the workspace. Do not alter the data in any way at this point. Navigate to the tab labelled Sheet 1 from here you can start your summarisation and visualisation. Make sure you are working with the correct dataset for this capstone project.
Use Tableau to illustrate and summarise the information contained in this dataset, and insert any visualisations you create into this document by exporting them to image files and inserting them using the function Insert Pictures. The wording on images and captions do not form part of the maximum word count as set out in the brief.
You are allowed to use any of the functionality of Tableau to inform your visualisations.
