I grew up watching college football and always remembered that iconic maize and blue. Now as an adult, Michigan football is somewhat of a family tradition. I watch their games every Saturday during the year with my friends and family, occasionally making the trip up...
Ottawa: Capital city to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Home to astronauts, comedians, musicians and more. The University of Ottawa educated the greatest game show host of all time, Alex Trebek, who studied philosophy (presumably because he couldn’t major in trivia). But most exciting of...
The #makeovermonday project, led by Andy Kriebel and Eva Murray, puts out a public data set each week, challenging data vizzers to find a different way to present the data. It’s a great way to practice your visualization skills and force yourself to work with...
Was anyone else fascinated with the American sitcom “The Jetsons” growing up? I know I was. The imaginative, futuristic world was so captivating to me, making me wonder if we would ever have holograms or talking robots. I was most intrigued by the flying cars,...

You’re a young adult in Tulsa in 2007 and you’ve got a date at a hip, new froyo place. You think to yourself (because you won’t listen to Mom), “Oh, that construction on 71st is so lame. I’m going to avoid it by speeding down...
We have now reached the final part of our Tableau Tables Trilogy. For this part, we will be covering what I call the table/chart combo. Why do this? The reason is quite simple. More often than not, people consume data in a table format, spending...
Let's be real: It's too hot to go outside right now, so why not stay in the A/C and catch up on some reading? June featured our usual variety of useful Tableau tips as well as some really topical vizzes ranging from the World Cup to...
This week’s question came from a longtime Tableau user, but they just aren’t happy with the way their dashboard looked: "The attached dashboard just doesn’t have the bang that I’m going for. Any tips you can think of to enhance it? There are maps with the...
Following the previous blog post, today we will be covering several ways to display negative values in tables. My go-to option is to add colour to the visualisation to highlight the values that need attention; however, there are different ways we can use colour. As in any other...
