Double, double, toil and trouble! October didn't just bring Halloween. With a little help from InterWorks, it brought you lots of new data knowledge to dive into, not the least of which were some awesome resources surrounding Tableau Conference 2018. This month, we published 37...
I don’t blog often, but when I do, I blog about something awesome. This is the case with Tableau Prep. Tableau Prep has been out for a while, but I had not yet given it a hard look until recently. The rest of this article will...
“Where we're going, we don't need roads” – Doc Brown, 1985/2015 We’ve all got hopes about the future of technology, and they can’t all be right. Flying cars haven’t arrived, but a lot of good things have happened to make our lives easier since Christopher Lloyd...
Question: My calculation for percentage isn’t returning the right values, but the data is there. I’m getting the sum of a single product, not the full sum. What do I need to do? Understanding what Tableau does with calculations and aggregations is important when building calculated...
It all started when I wanted to make a dashboard on the correlation between the brightness of the moon and crime activity. It’s one of those things everyone has heard in their life whenever crime or hospitalizations spike (or at least I have): “It must...
I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for my undergraduate degree, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. However, it’s surprising to me that I ended up in North Carolina, having grown up in New Jersey....
The question is: We receive CSV files from our data provider which we pull into Prep. We then unionize them and output a Tableau online server file. Why can’t we edit the default properties? If you are familiar with this menu, it normally looks like this: Many...
Hey, party people! Guess what time it is? It’s Mappy Hour! via GIPHY Tableau has been cranking out new mapping features left and right, but few have had me as excited as the spatial join with the release of Tableau 2018.2. This is the mapping tool I've been...
This week, InterWorks is unveiling our theme for Tableau Conference 2018: “Remix Your Data Experience.” Deciding on a theme was a process spread out over the better part of a year, and it’s an immense delight to finally be able to share it with the...
Imagine you’re hanging out in Vegas during Tableau Conference 2017, soaking in every last minute of the excitement of conference week. Imagine you’re maybe a little sleepy…it has been quite a week, after all. Then imagine, if you can, that you find out the news:...
“Tableau is an Excel complement, not an Excel replacement.” Whenever I teach a training class, I make this point multiple times throughout the course. Each tool has its own set of specialties and comparative advantages that should govern usage. Or, put more simply, there are situations...
If you’ve followed any of my previous blog posts, it’s pretty obvious that I am beyond excited about Snowflake. I have been working with the cloud data warehouse for about four months now, and it has consistently made my life easier. Today I am extremely...
Although I’ve attended Tableau Conference as an InterWorks client before, this is going to be my first TC as an IW employee, and I couldn’t be more excited to see my former students and hear what they’ve been up to with Tableau. It’s like a...
It’s almost time. The biggest event on our calendar in October. No, it’s not Halloween. It’s not Daylight Savings. It’s not any single sports events. It’s not even your birthday, should it fall in October (we wish you a good one all the same). It’s the...
Two months ago, my wife and I got married, moved across the world and started new jobs—all within TEN DAYS! Stressful, but all of that was worth it because we now live in Singapore, an amazing country that has received international attention for being the...
Let’s talk Tableau. As an accredited Tableau instructor (and a self-proclaimed Hermione Granger), I’ve got a question that just won’t leave my mind: it has to do with heat maps and highlight tables. But first, a little background on those chart types. In Tableau Desktop I:...
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...
