In the last four blog posts in this series, we created an 18-step workflow that provides a hyper extract file. I’m going to test my set by building a view in Tableau Desktop. While I could just publish the flow and use an output file...
Pie charts are one of the most iconic data visualisation styles; in the past, they have been the bedrock of many a PowerPoint presentation. When you start to look a little closer, however, as many data-viz purists have, you begin to notice that they have some...
My colleagues and I often joke about how the most interesting visualizations on Tableau Public don’t often have much practical application for the boring world of business dashboards in which we operate. At first glance, my Spell-O-L dashboard is no exception. Telling a Visual Story This visual...
Not too long ago, Gartner released their updated Magic BI Quadrant for 2019. This quadrant ranks the industries top BI platforms on both execution and completeness of vision. Since it's become a bit of a tradition for me to visualize the results in Tableau, I...
Note: This blog post builds on a previous post and was created in collaboration with analytics consultant Dave Sirey. Set actions are opening up a new world of possibilities in Tableau. Recently, we tried tackling one of the common struggles in Tableau: visualizing geographic data with Alaska...
It's that magical time again! No, we're not off to Hogwarts just yet. It's Gartner's report on business intelligence tools! Regular host Robert Rouse is joined by Russ Lyman and David Pires to discuss the results of the recently released report, Tableau's place among the competition...
Do you ever have those watercooler debates at work that never get a real sense of finality? A coworker claims the trade OKC made for Carmelo Anthony was worth it, and you know in your heart that they are completely wrong, but you keep it...
Visualizing financial statements is hard. While not inherently a difficult task, when I speak with many of my clients' financial teams, their data tends to be some of the most sensitive that the company possesses, and for that reason, its presentation is very particularly curated....
This visualization has a personal aspect for me. In April 2017, I was approached by the Tableau Foundation to volunteer my Tableau skills to teach data literacy and Tableau Desktop to government agencies in Myanmar (formerly Burma) with the hope of empowering them with good information...
This week’s Makeover Monday project focused on how expensive it is to own a home in major cities across the United States. The original article presented the data as the number of hours of work it takes to pay the median monthly mortgage payment. You...
“Hey, there are some leftover sandwiches from today’s TUG in the kitchen if anyone wants some.” “Well, I was planning on being at that meeting, but I got pulled in to help with the TUG on Thursday.” “Hey, Andrea, I think it’d be a great opportunity for...
It all started when I wanted to make a dashboard on the correlation between the brightness of the moon and crime activity. It’s one of those things everyone has heard in their life whenever crime or hospitalizations spike (or at least I have): “It must...
I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for my undergraduate degree, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. However, it’s surprising to me that I ended up in North Carolina, having grown up in New Jersey....
You want your hard work to get noticed, right? When it comes to designing visualizations and dashboards, getting your work noticed and making it useful have typically come with some sort of sacrifices on both sides. In this week's show, Robert, Mike and Ben discuss just...
Imagine you’re hanging out in Vegas during Tableau Conference 2017, soaking in every last minute of the excitement of conference week. Imagine you’re maybe a little sleepy…it has been quite a week, after all. Then imagine, if you can, that you find out the news:...
Two months ago, my wife and I got married, moved across the world and started new jobs—all within TEN DAYS! Stressful, but all of that was worth it because we now live in Singapore, an amazing country that has received international attention for being the...
The Journey Begins In my 18+ year career, I’ve been around data in many different forms and fashions. From roles as a DBA to those in innovation and business intelligence, data has always been integral to what I do. I love data. I can remember playing...
The good people over at the Species at Risk Public Registry, sararegistry.gc.ca, which is part of the Government of Canada, provide website visitors with a list of species monitored by the Ministry for the Environment and Climate Change for any changes in the sizes of...
A couple of summers ago, I read a short 577-page book on the dynamics of wealth and income inequality by the French economist Thomas Piketty. This book had kind of become a huge deal in the field of economics. One reason was its huge scope....
Yet another great project came out this month from the folks at Viz for Social Good. This time around, we’re exploring data from the United Nations Development Programme to help build a crisis risk dashboard to assess risk and crises in the Sahel region of Africa. The...
