My colleague Kendra Allenspach and I recently put together a visual story about InterWorks’ musical preferences using Spotify Wrapped data (we’ve embedded the final product at the end of this article if you want to skip straight to the fun stuff). The project took us...
There has been a recent boom in the number of people working from home, or at least away from the office. With this new development, security-minded businesses need a way to prevent an unattended computer from being hijacked by less-than-honorable individuals, not to mention a...
Everyone has that moment. You’ve got the data. You have the goal – make a dashboard/visualization that says something interesting. You sit down. And then you freeze. You’re staring at a blank screen. Where do I go from here?!?!? The possibilities are virtually endless and...
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...
The world is a place of unknowns and fear right now. At InterWorks, we've worked extra hard to find ways to creatively connect our team members across the globe. From scheduling "water cooler chats" on Zoom to weekly team check-ins, our community is more important...
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...
InterWorks started out as me and a small group of friends doing IT work because we had a good time and enjoyed the challenge. As InterWorks has grown over the last 24 years, our mission has attracted more talented individuals, and the team has become...
February is a magical time for the Tableau partner community. It’s when Tableau holds their annual Partner Executive Kick-off (PEKO) events across the globe. InterWorks and InterWorks Europe had the honor of attending PEKO festivities in Seattle and London to celebrate 2019 and plan for...
And just like that, another month has gone by. It felt like February came and went in the blink of an eye, but the good news is that we've got loads of resources on the blog that are here to stay. With 25 posts and...
This post builds on my previous blog that laid out the basics of using the new Tableau Prep integration with R. Here, we’ll go a little bit deeper with a more complicated example and another dimension to this new capability. Using Tableau Prep and R to...
If there has been a lot of hype around how Tableau and Snowflake work so well together, it’s simply because they do! Tableau is a modern BI platform that enables powerful, self-service analytics in a continuously visual process to uncover rapid business insights. Snowflake is...
When I first started out as a Tableau developer, I was just trying to make sure my calculations didn’t result in errors and the dashboard rendered properly on Server. But as time went on, the caliber of dashboards became more complex and the number of...
TL;DR Build as much date logic into your calculations as possible, as opposed to using the Filters Shelf. Put your reference date (e.g. TODAY() ) into its own calculation so it can be easily changed in the future if needed. Centralize your date logic into...
As of version 2019.3, Tableau Prep introduced a new and exciting feature: integration with R and Python. This is an incredible way to expand and customize the capabilities of your workflow. As someone coming from an R background, I was excited to brush up on...
I’m going to let you in on a little known fact: Scientists have very recently discovered that a picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to tutorials, you can either use your thousand words to describe each part of a dashboard, or you...
Tableau is the #1 visual analytics platform in the world. In part, it has accomplished this by providing its user base with a tremendous amount of flexibility when it comes to data sources. By my last count, Tableau has over 80 native connectors to a...
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...
This month, we hit refresh on a new year and a new decade, aiming to breathe new life into existing solutions and reframe the way we think about and approach our work. In looking to lay a strong foundation for the year to come, we...
