While relying on each other is extra crucial in these strange times, sometimes it can still be tricky to figure out what that really looks like. Especially in the workplace. This blog is the second part of the story of how my colleague Keith and...
Have you experienced this? You have a fun idea for a dashboard. Just a little side project for your Tableau Public profile. You start out enthusiastically, full of excitement about the possibilities. But then you find yourself on version three, version four … version eleven...
With This Old Viz, I ask the online Tableau community to put forward visualizations that they’d like a little expert assistance on. My background over the last six years is a heavy Tableau user and certified Tableau trainer. Before that, I was in the website...

Gartner has recently released the Magic BI Quadrant for 2020. As a refresher, this quadrant ranks the top platforms in BI according to factors like execution and scope of vision. Per tradition, I've decided to take their report and visualize them in Tableau. The overall...
Data visualization, like any other tool, can serve whatever purpose we desire. Most of the time, it is a business-related purpose. However, there are thousands of cases where pointing out a gain or loss in a specific aspect can bring us—as a society—increased life expectancy,...
I took a holiday break from vizzing for the InterWorks blog, but we’re back with our second installment of This Old Viz. This time, I went to the internet to find public information, landing on a portion of Toyota’s annual reporting. Sales and Production Version 1 Here...
We are back with the next installment of InterWorks’ Quantified Office, thanks to another tasty delivery from Tracy. This time, she gifted us with five wonderful brands of chocolate coconut cookies, known to many as Samoas. Willing to bear the burden of finding the best...
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...
This is the first of a new series of blog articles called This Old Viz. It combines my passion for visual analytics and a desire the Tableau user community has for incorporating visual best practices with good design. I put out a request on social...
It finally happened. On June 12, 2019, the St. Louis Blues won their first-ever Stanley Cup title. For a franchise who has been suffering for over 50 years, this felt like an eternity. There were chances to win it all early when the Blues were introduced...

I've been making and using these Fantasy Football Draft Kits in Tableau for SIX years now, and the demand for this year's kit has been incredible to see. I love hearing from friends and family, and all you random folks out around the internet, about...
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...
The world of tech is always changing and evolving, and to be successful in the industry, professionals must continue to learn, grow and develop their skills and approaches to the challenges they face. With so many different design elements and data variables in the work...
