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...
The good people over at the Species at Risk Public Registry, sararegistry.gc.ca, which is part of the Government of Canada, provide website visitors with a list of species monitored by the Ministry for the Environment and Climate Change for any changes in the sizes of...
Here’s the scenario: I work at Global Superstore. We sell products from lots of different sub-categories. I can always reference this from our Master Inventory File: I get weekly sales data sent to me, and my job is to make a weekly report for each region...
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....

Yet another great project came out this month from the folks at Viz for Social Good. This time around, we’re exploring data from the United Nations Development Programme to help build a crisis risk dashboard to assess risk and crises in the Sahel region of Africa. The...
Portals for Tableau have had the ability to show a sort of live view of the workbooks and dashboards within those workbooks as a part of the navigation for a while now (see this post for more info); however, the portal treated each dashboard as...
There is an example we do in the Tableau Desktop Intermediate course to look at how to union your data. In the example, we use Tableau’s Union function to append different sheets, labeled as different quarters, from a single Excel file into one long table...
We have a few (super) fans of Disney here at InterWorks, including me, so it was natural for us to be curious about what was going on at the Disney Data and Analytics Conference this year. A small InterWorks team took on the hard task...

Yes, I know. Documentation is not a sexy topic. It is not easy to keep documentation updated. It is not always easy to identify the right level of technicality. Finally, we are all more the dashboard builder and tinkerer in our hearts than we are...
While attending the Tableau Conference in London, we received many interesting questions. I want to share one of them here. We want to see sales performance over time. What if we sometimes want to compare different sub-categories separately and just want to see the development...
When asking a recent Tableau class about how they might use Tableau’s mapping features, I had one course member state that a view he currently uses (and is looking to transfer into Tableau) shows the % change in sales from the previous period by either...
As Dave Sirey recently wrote about it, “Funnel charts are a great way to track progress through a workflow with multiple steps. They can highlight how well a process is being followed and easily identify any bottlenecks. You can even use table calculations to look...
