When talking about data-driven culture deployment and Tableau user adoption, there are many components that can contribute to the overall process and help make it successful. One of these components is educating users. Many of us at InterWorks are certified Tableau trainers, and we are...
Have you ever wanted to hide some of your data but not filter it? In this article, I will demonstrate how to hide certain pieces of data without filtering them out of the calculation results. I’ll be using a method that involves level of detail...
Me: “I’ll take Python for $200, Trebek.” Trebek: “The time it takes for you to create a hand-coded XIRR calculation in Python for use in Tableau’s TabPy?” Me: “What is ‘a long time’?” Trebek: “Correct!” That’s right—you can now calculate XIRR in Tableau! But it’s not going to be...
Are you as excited as I am for Tableau Extensions? Probably not. I’m pretty excited. I already wrote a blog post about it. Unfortunately, Tableau Public doesn’t support them yet (at the time I wrote this post) and you need Tableau Server 2018.2+ to host...
In the Tableau Desktop III: Advanced course, we teach you how to build sparklines, with the added bonus of using a dual axis to create a circle for the last sales value. This circle highlights that final point on the line, making it slightly easier...

How to Create Public Pages The most commonly used feature of our portal is one that is easily overlooked: it is the ability to protect content behind a login. However, sometimes you have content that should be public. Maybe you’ve got a “Contact Us” page, information...
Are you so accustomed to sharing your insightful opinions on the day’s biggest headlines via Facebook comments that it just irks you not to be able to with your company’s Tableau dashboard? Well, the days of being unheard are over because Portals for Tableau supports...
For this week’s #MakeoverMonday project, I wanted to build a divergent stacked bar chart. I used to create these charts every so often in my last job, but I did it by opening up an old Tableau workbook and mindlessly copying the calculations and setup...
The Journey Begins In my 18+ year career, I’ve been around data in many different forms and fashions. From roles as a DBA to those in innovation and business intelligence, data has always been integral to what I do. I love data. I can remember playing...
If you haven’t used the Data Manager in Portals for Tableau before, you may not have a good grasp of what it does. In a nutshell, it is a simple form builder. You can think of its groups as forms, attributes as fields and items...
Tableau 2018.2 brought us a few new features, including the Services Manager, spatial data join and Dashboard Extensions. All of these features are neat and handy for their relative use cases, but today we’re going to focus on Extensions. Dashboard Extensions allow you to add...

A couple of summers ago, I read a short 577-page book on the dynamics of wealth and income inequality by the French economist Thomas Piketty. This book had kind of become a huge deal in the field of economics. One reason was its huge scope....
