This is a DataCamp course: Time series is all around us; from the post you’ve made on Twitter, to the daily fluctuations in the financial markets - these are all examples of time-series data points that need to be analyzed. In this course, you’ll learn to classify, treat and analyze time series; an absolute must, if you’re serious about stepping up as an analytics professional.
<h2>Discover the power of time series</h2>
You’ll start with the basics where you’ll learn the different types of time series that exist, as well as the analytical methodologies to analyze this. Once you’ve got the fundamentals down, you’ll learn how to reformat time series data in preparation for univariate and multivariate visualizations.
<h2>Data Preparation & Time series</h2>
Everyone wants to analyze data, but it’s important we clean this up as well. We’ll learn how to clean up time-series data using Tableau’s date functions where we’ll reshape our data based on the different time context we’re interested in. Additionally, we’ll learn the ins and outs of using LODs to automate these calculations for us!
<h2>Analyzing Time series Data</h2>
In the final parts of this course, you’ll learn about statistical techniques like Z-Values, where you’ll your very own Anomaly detection fields in Tableau to identify optimal arbitrage opportunities for a trading company! You’d have learnt what time series is, how to treat it, and more importantly, how to use statistical measures to tell an impactful story.

In this chapter, we’ll begin our journey by understanding the different types of time series that exist, as well as the analytical methodologies to analyze this. Once you’ve understood the fundamental concepts, you’ll learn how to reformat time series data in preparation for univariate and multivariate visualizations.
Everyone wants to analyze data, but it’s important the data is clean. In this chapter, we’ll learn how to clean up time series data using Tableau’s inbuilt date functions where we’ll reshape, split and rejoin our data based on the different time context we’re interested in. Beyond this, we’ll dive into the concepts of seasonality, trend analysis and anomaly detection!
Windowing Functions and Moving Averages in Tableau
In this final chapter, you’ll learn all about the powers of window functions and statistical techniques like Z-Values, where you’ll create your very own anomaly classifiers to identify optimal pricing arbitrage opportunities for a trading company! In the second part of this chapter, we’ll compare multiple anomaly detection techniques, equipping you with a broad range of approaches to treating and analyzing time series!
