One of my first publicly available dashboards is embarrassingly rough. Just two charts (one’s a pie; thank goodness it only has three slices), gaping whitespace, completely emotionless. Like a decent dashboard, it begs more questions, but some of them could actually be answered in that...

Several of our clients utilize their portal to show dashboards to numerous clients of theirs in a multi-tenant architecture. Unlike traditional apartment buildings, these tenants shouldn’t really know the others exist. They shouldn’t hear anyone stomping around like an elephant on their ceiling in the...
In my last post, I showed you how to replace a traditional drop-down menu with icons to swap sheets using parameter actions. In this post, we’ll take this a step further and refine how the icons look when they’re selected, removing the black border and...
The world of tech is always changing and evolving, and to be successful in the industry, professionals must continue to learn, grow and develop their skills and approaches to the challenges they face. With so many different design elements and data variables in the work...
Data drives everything, and it's invaluable when it comes to making effective and informed decisions in your work. The way that data is communicated is crucial, and the functionality and design of a dashboard can either reinforce the data story you're telling or undermine and...
During a recent Google search for elegant dashboards, I discovered a great example from Sharon Faber. I really like how Sharon incorporated icons that users can select to change the chart type. This gives users options without wasting space. Rather than burying alternative displays further down...
While InterWorks started in the heart of the United States of America, we’ve long since become an international company. Until now, the portal has been very US-centric. With English being the de facto language of business around the world, maybe it’s not overly apparent. However,...
Here’s a question: When it comes to life, are you the spontaneous type, or are you more of a planner? Hold onto that answer. Now, let me ask you the same question in respect to your work: Do you prefer working on the fly, or...
Everybody who has used Tableau for a while has come to love swapping measures by using a parameter. In fact, that is a feature I often utilize to make better use of space on a dashboard and to save time as it allows you to...
Tableau’s default behaviour is that when you click a data point, it stays selected. This is intuitive behaviour and makes total sense when a click has driven a filter on a dashboard. However, given the size and creativity of the Tableau community, clicking a data point...
One of the most frequent tasks you might come across when working with Tableau is comparing data over time. Any KPI that is measured needs to be put into some kind of context to make it more tangible and give a feeling of perspective. “Our...
Question: I’m using a table calculation comparing the same month last year, and my view shows blanks due to the date range I have applied. Is there a way to fill in the blanks correctly? I’ve duplicated the user’s view somewhat using Superstore data. You can...

When I was younger, I used to always imagine what my job would be when I grew up. A sales professional like my mom? A financial professional like my dad? Maybe start my own business one day? Maybe I could take our neighborhood lemonade stand...
Tableau 2019.2 is full of new features. To name a few, vector maps, parameter actions, show/hide dashboard containers and spatial calculations are now at your fingertips. The one I'm very excited for, but not seeing a lot of chatter about, is the ability to now...

Recently, I needed to add a text box with an embedded URL to a client’s dashboard that read “Click to See Report.” The client, who still uses Tableau Desktop 10.5, wanted users to access an external report related to the dashboard content. However, there was...
Last month on the blog saw a pretty diverse offering of content. We recapped some of the amazing tech conferences our team recently attended, shared some exciting recognitions InterWorks has received lately and threw the spotlight on some great aspects of our company culture. We've...
