Hey there, folks! This wild ride keeps right on going, doesn't it? Nevertheless, so do we! This month on the InterWorks blog, we had a record-setting number of blogs come out. From start to finish, we managed to get 32 blogs out into the aether, which is...
Historically, BI tools drew a clear line between the people who model the data and the people who build the dashboards. Sigma collapses that gap. You're working directly against the warehouse, operating on non-aggregated data with a bottom-up, spreadsheet-like approach, and transforming the data as you go. That flexibility is...
A common question we've been getting lately is whether Sigma supports multi-layer maps. More specifically, people want to know if it's possible to display polygons, lines and points on the same map; for example, showing a ski resort boundary while also displaying lift lines and...
Sigma's action framework has come a long way. Bulk update and bulk delete gave app builders serious power over input tables. But one gap remained: There's no native way to insert multiple rows with a single action. Sure, you could chain 48 insert row actions...
When I first used Sigma in early 2024, it was still a spreadsheet-native analytics platform. While still interesting at the time, it was not until they launched data apps (now known as AI apps) that I became truly excited and got my mind spinning about...
I had the pleasure of attending Sigma's inaugural Workflow conference this month, where I met more of their team, shared excitement with enthusiastic customers and got a deeper look at a tool that is genuinely shaking up how we think about business intelligence. Getting a window...
Shoot your shot, as they say. That means you, as you’re building something in Sigma right now. If the dashboard, app or report you’re working on is going to be used or seen by others, take a little bit of time to make sure it’s...
As data teams strive to deliver faster, smarter insights, Sigma is stepping up by embedding AI directly into its dashboard experience. With features like Formula Assistant, Explain This Chart, Ask Sigma, and AI Queries, users can now interact with data in more intuitive and intelligent...
Same Tool, Different Game Nine months ago, I wrote a tool comparison comparing Sigma, Tableau and Power BI head-to-head, with the blog framed around the evolution of BI and where each tool wins. After attending Sigma Workflow conference this week in San Francisco, the clearest thing...
If you've been following the InterWorks blog over the last year, you've likely noticed a huge uptick in Sigma content. Sigma is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting platforms in the data and analytics space, allowing users to built powerful AI apps on live...
Well, looks like 2026 is shaping up to be one of those years. Never fear! Though life may be hectic, the InterWorks blog will continue on as it has for the past decade and a half. Surely, you'll draw some soul-soothing comfort in your favorite corporate...
This week, I’m in San Francisco attending Workflow, Sigma’s inaugural user conference, and I can’t help but think back to 2011 and my first Tableau conference in Las Vegas. That event was small and intimate – just a few hundred attendees, well before the press...
Most retail teams operate within the same set of dashboards: Revenue by week, units sold by product, and perhaps a few filters for region or channel. Those views are undeniably useful, but they are fundamentally descriptive. They answer one question: "What happened?" As business intelligence...
Why This Is Important As my friend Josias likes to say: “Sigma has given us the keys to the castle.” When I heard you could integrate Python notebooks directly into Sigma, I knew I had to give it a try. The customizability that comes with Python...
Sigma’s introduction of Single-Select and Multi-Select column types has opened up a new level of table customization. Pills, also known as chips or badges, help viewers instantly categorize data by taking advantage of pre-attentive attributes of shape and color. Additionally, pills can help break up visual monotony in large...
Want a visual walkthrough of this post? Check it out here, and follow along below: For the last five years, I’ve worked almost exclusively in Power BI across several roles, with most of my focus on revenue forecasting. Even before my BI journey began, I was...
Want to check out a video version of this blog? Check this out: The Challenge Teams working with clients know the familiar rhythm: Meetings generate pages of notes, action items and follow-ups, but the process of translating that information into organized, trackable work remains fragmented. Notes often...
The Problem with Feedback Today If you build reports for other people, you know this cycle well. A stakeholder pings you on Slack: "Hey, the numbers on that report look off." Which report? Which numbers? You ask for a link. They send a screenshot with no context....
Welcome to 2026! Hopefully, your January has been a good start to the year. It's been hectic around the InterWorks offices, with us having just completed our company Kickoff in Oklahoma City a week or so ago. We're all still riding the tidal wave of...
Every year, all of InterWorks US descends on Oklahoma for a company-wide get together. We like to start the year with a fresh start by doing a brief recap of the prior year and then dive into the vision and plans for the coming year....
