With the PGA Championship wrapping up another year of Major Golf Tournaments and the very young Rory McIlroy dominating the field, it occurred to me to ask: "Is winning a major only for the young players?" Also, despite Tiger Woods' recent back surgery and sudden...
Let it be duly noted that I used the euphemistic term rather than the pejorative “patent troll”. +1 for me! What is Patent Trolling? When an issue makes to the Office of the President of the United States, you know it’s gotten big. Patent trolling, or using patents to...
If you’re a sports fan like me, the next month can be one of the longest of the year. The World Cup and NBA Finals are over, the British Open just ended, and the baseball playoffs have not yet started. Thus, we are left with...

Two of my passions in life are data visualization and fighting games. These two passions haven’t overlapped a whole lot, but lately I’m finding more and more uses for data in taking my Ultra Street Fighter 4 game to the next level. Last weekend, July...
If you cried as much as I did as the U.S. Men’s National Team settled for a draw against Portugal last night, then you’ve probably spent your Monday pouring over the slew of scenarios for the last match against Germany on Thursday. Nate Silver and his...
There are people living in America today who did not have electricity in their home growing up. It cannot be overstated how much the power industry has changed since then. To understand and communicate those shifts, we turn to data. Some have done an outstanding...

Most data analysis is concerned with understanding what the data tells us - for example understanding if business is growing or not and discovering how sales are developing in different territories or across product lines. But sometimes the story the data is not telling can be...
Do I have a healthy pipeline of sales opportunities? Ensuring a healthy pipeline of opportunities is a key concern of any Sales Manager. In this post I would like to share with you a way of visualizing your pipeline that has proven highly valuable in practice....
In Part 1 we learned how to use custom SQL to shape our data ready for use later on in polygons. In this part we will use parameters to allow dashboard viewers to exchange dimensions. This methodology can be applied to any chart type which is sliced...
In Part 2 we simulated a Marimekko using stacked bars but since the boundary for each element / polygon of a Marimekko in Tableau is made up from 4 Cartesian Coordinates we are going to use scales of 0 – 100 % for both X and Y...
In Part 3 we created all the calculated fields necessary for our basic Mekko. Because we have preset the DTC (Direction of Table Calculation) for each calculated field we can simply drag them on to the view to create the mekko and be confident that the values...
In Part 4 of the blog we learned how to make a basic Mekko Chart. In this part of the blog we are going to add in some totals, thankfully we can use some of our existing calculations to do this. The first is the...
A question I was recently asked by an in training Tableau User was ‘Why would I apply a table calculation by cell?’. To answer this I have produced a simple example of a by cell Table Calculation. Before I get to it I would like...
Tableau has the ability to recreate any colour by using the RGB colour model. By using this you can customise your charts and dashboards to match your corporate branding guidelines. The chart below shows the top 5 BBC Television Channels by expenditure in 2012. It is...
This Marimekko chart was fun to get right. There are some great examples of complex table calculations built in to it. The use case is similar to that of a series of stacked bars. It has graphical similarities to a treemap but it lacks the...
The Tableau Customer Conference 2013 turned out to be a truly inspiring event. Hans Rosling captured the hearts and minds of the packed event room as did Andy Kriebel (Facebook), JP Rangaswami (Salesforce), Tableau’s own Christian Chabot and many customer speakers such as Cisco’s Rob...
