Credit for this viz goes directly to InterWorks EU Managing Director Mel Stephenson, who taught me that a great viz should include an aspect of psychology, as well. So, someone recently asked me what's the most interesting viz I've seen, and there's one that stands out in...
Some of my favorite mobile apps like Slack, Feedly and Google Maps have a slide-out menu that appears when I tap a small icon. That common design element makes plenty of room for user inputs and gets them out of the way when you’re done...
Pitchfork, one of the most well-known online music review sites, just released their "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list for 2015. They do a great job listing out each album, sharing some background info and a track from each album along the way. Still, this got me thinking: Why not take this...
Which web browser do you use? Do you use a different browser on your personal computer, cellphone or tablet? I spent a few minutes in Tableau this morning looking at the changes in browser market share over the past seven years. ...
About a week ago, I shared a blog post that demonstrated a new way to visualize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Tableau. This week, using the same viz, I’ll show how to set up single-click hierarchy navigation. The Challenge Those of us familiar with Pivot Tables in...
Fame and money can do extraordinary things to people. Some use their position for good while many others go in the opposite direction. If you want proof, look no further than the NFL. We love our professional athletes, especially those that play football, but it's no mystery that...
When historians look back on the 20th Century, it can be summed up best by four major milestones: The Allies win the war America puts a man on the moon The invention of the personal computer “Star Wars” All of these are truly remarkable feats, but I’ll...
Key Performance Indicators are one of the most common things people need to display in a dashboard. This usually involves comparing current values or historical trends against a target value. Tableau makes it easy to show current values and trends in one dashboard, but this...
I love that old song, mostly because it drives my teenagers crazy when I sing it out loud (and loudly) whenever we are out and about. Protip: Teenagers will do almost anything to avoid being embarrassed. I’ve had my car washed, my kitchen mopped and...
It's finally here. I'm not talking about Thanksgiving, I'm talking about the single greatest weekend of college football in the state of Oklahoma: Bedlam. The contest pits the state's two largest universities, Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma, against each other on the...
Two weeks ago, I shared "TCU @ Oklahoma State by the Numbers." TCU had a solid advantage over OSU in most statistical categories leading into that game, yet OSU defied the numbers and came out with a convincing win. Last week, OSU scraped out a hard-fought win on the road at Iowa State...
The Drawing Tool has been incorporated into CBI Studio by InterWorks. Explore CBI Studio to see what’s new. What’s not to love about dinosaurs? Their size, their teeth, their mystery – they still capture my imagination just as they did when I was six years old...
TC15 is rapidly approaching, and roughly 12,000 attendees are expected at the festivities. The vast majority of those attendees will be flying into Las Vegas, and there will be plenty that don’t travel very often. They may find themselves on the plane wondering what the proper etiquette is...
Quantified self visualizations predominantly focus on daytime activity, not sleep habits. Perhaps this is because it’s one of the most difficult things to accurately measure, or maybe it doesn’t seem like an interesting data set. But, anyone with a newborn in the house knows how...
The annual Tableau Conference (formerly known as TCC) is one of my favorite parts about working at InterWorks and being a part of the Tableau Community. I get to meet all sorts of new Tableau users and attend fascinating sessions and keynotes. Some of last...
Fantasy Football has become an incredible phenomenon in the United States. According to FSTA, over 56 million people will participate in some form of fantasy sports in 2015 with 73% playing fantasy football. I first started in 2007 as a means to socialize with coworkers at...
There’s been a lot of coverage of wildfires in the United States this year, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, where some of the largest fires are consuming hundreds of thousands of acres. To bring some context, I scraped data from the US Forest Service’s website...
Approximately 8.2 million people live within the five boroughs that make up New York City. Every year, thousands of accidents occur due to a multitude of contributing factors. NYPD collects information about each of those accidents and provides it for public use on nycopendata.socrata.com. We...
Over the last twenty years, video games have become a cultural force in America. From movie spin-offs to t-shirts at Target, it's almost impossible not to be touched by the gaming industry every day, even if you don't consider yourself a "gamer." In this period...
Keeping track of the growing number and types of database products is a full-time chore. This week I spent a few days in Vail, Colorado at the Pacific Crest Global Technology Forum. This is the 17th year that Pacific Crest Securities has sponsored the event—bringing...
