Analyzing survey data with Tableau

ECFR

Data value creation does not have to be complicated. Support for a project by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) and the Mercator Foundation shows how added value and valuable time can be gained when implementing data-based studies, even without a large infrastructure or complex processes.
