Let’s be honest, most things dashboard developers build for their users don’t meet those users’ needs. There’s a reason Googling "dashboards are dead" can lead you down a rabbit hole compelling enough to sack the whole team and dust off your own SQL skills. What about...
I heard a week or so ago that National Donut Day was coming up, and it sparked my curiosity about donut day, leading to many long study sessions about everyone's favorite ring-shaped pastry. I figured the best way to disperse my newly acquired yet useless...

Most people in your company are not database experts. They are interested in something other than databases and ELT programs. They want information that supports their work needs. Human beings are visual creatures, and interactive dashboards are visual data expressions. Dashboards enable everyone to see, understand...
One thing I noticed: there's one last step that I always take before heading out into the street with two overflowing grocery bags. Just before the exit, I push the handicap door opener on my right. And it stays open long enough for me and...

Tableau is committed to helping people see and understand data. This translates into many things: building products with intuitive platforms, making AI available in a no-code/low-code environment and investing in data literacy and governance, just to name a few. Ultimately, it’s about removing barriers between...
Have you ever built a really cool dashboard and thought, “Man, this would be awesome to access from my phone while I’m on the go!” The world we live in today is a mobile one—we are all on the go and spending more time on...
I have no formal background in data or statistics. The skills and experience I’ve gained have been a direct result of working in analytics, figuring it out as I’ve gone along and working hard to solve problems about which I’m passionate. Big data, machine learning,...
One of my first publicly available dashboards is embarrassingly rough. Just two charts (one’s a pie; thank goodness it only has three slices), gaping whitespace, completely emotionless. Like a decent dashboard, it begs more questions, but some of them could actually be answered in that...
Several of our clients utilize their portal to show dashboards to numerous clients of theirs in a multi-tenant architecture. Unlike traditional apartment buildings, these tenants shouldn’t really know the others exist. They shouldn’t hear anyone stomping around like an elephant on their ceiling in the...
If you use InterWorks’ version of embedded analytics, Portals for Tableau, you already know how quick and easy it is to display a dashboard in it. If you aren’t lucky enough to have experienced creating a dashboard in a portal, it’s easier than cracking the screen...

I'm not making any recommendations about which way...

On the second ever Webcast Friday that InterWorks has produced, I had the honor of speaking to our web audience about Tableau Server performance monitoring. In this talk, I wanted to highlight what a server does for us, what makes a server run slowly, what...
Scenario: You’ve just purchased a new laptop with an amazing high resolution display. Woo hoo! However, when you start up Tableau, something looks a bit fishy: Figure 1: Hmmmm … This seems to compound when you open a dashboard: Figure 2: YIKES!! When opening Dashboards, Tableau is scaling the...
In a previous blog post, I mapped America’s Deadliest Shootings based on a timeline put together by the "Los Angeles Times." A topic not often discussed is the order of elements when laying out floating containers on your dashboard and how this can ultimately impact...
Even with the best planning, we occasionally end up with less than speedy dashboards. Tableau is great at crunching large amounts of data – but when you are looking at many different slices of millions of records, anything would be slow. There are many ways to improve the...
