Hi! I am having trouble opening the workbook on Tableau Public.

[@owlpellet81]

How can I use this course if I only have Tableau Public? Everything I've read online says I need Tableau Desktop to use .twb/.twbx files, and the video starts with an in progress workbook so the raw .xlsx data file isn't much use.
Thanks!

Hi! You can do all of these courses with just Tableau Public. There's a link to the solution workbook on Tableau Public in the description, and the raw data files (which you can connect to Tableau Public) are in the materials file linked in the description. Let me know if you have any trouble opening these/using the Tableau Public solutions workbook 👍
