Community Highlight

To recognize new and consistent Tableau contributors—we’re excited to have a section within the weekly DataFam Roundup called the Tableau Community Highlight. Find out how to get involved.

Elijah Butler, Freelance Data Analyst
Kentucky, USA

Elijah Butler is a Freelance Data Analyst. He was introduced to Tableau when he started his data analytics journey using free resources on Tableau Public and YouTube. He attributes his knowledge to learning the basics, downloading some data, and diving into building hands-on. Now, Elijah uses Tableau to build reports that are intuitive in helping users get answers, drive strategy, and tell stories. Elijah shares his knowledge with the community through his popular Tik Tok account and YouTube channel.

Originally having the goal of creating content about a wide range of topics, Elijah discovered soon after creating his Tik Tok account that his passion was in helping people learn data analytics, land a data job, and change their lives. With a following of almost 200k now, a lot of his content comes from either what he wishes he would have had when he got started or from questions asked in the comment section of his videos. Later, Elijah also created a YouTube channel to provide value in a long-form medium. He has released a full-length interactive course already, and recently began building out a free LinkedIn optimization course.

Connect with Elijah on Linkedin, Tableau Public, on his Tik Tok, and on his YouTube channel.
