On the second ever Webcast Friday that InterWorks has produced, I had the honor of speaking to our web audience about Tableau Server performance monitoring. In this talk, I wanted to highlight what a server does for us, what makes a server run slowly, what...

We are now ready to start building a proof of concept or POC of our dashboard. Think of a POC as a prototype or your Beta test. We are focused on dashboard design, so I won’t spend much time on the actual construction of individual...
We’re spending the latest Deep Dive on dashboard design. In Part One, I spent a lot of time talking about dashboard theory. Specifically, we talked about planning the dashboard using the three C’s: Context, Consistency and Customer. These three words ask specific questions on the...
I’m going to take a different approach to this new Deep Dive series, differently than I have with the past articles I have written. Previous Deep Dives focused on a suite of functionalities and use cases associated with a particular feature of Tableau Desktop, such as...
I have the honor - and pleasure? - of kicking off our first ever Webcast Friday. I show a couple of ways I use Tableau to analyze web traffic from Apache. The real benefit of using Tableau here is that I can easily spot trends or track issues...
Some of my best memories have been had on the ski slopes! My brother, Matt, and I are unique in loving the kind of terrain most people loathe – moguls. We both love the feeling of hitting our rhythm in and out of densely packed...
My first time to New York City, I noticed something on just about every restaurant I walked by. There was one of these signs displayed at the front window showing off the inspection grade. Obviously, I avoided every one of the C restaurants I came...
It’s no secret that I’m a math nerd. Or that I’m raising a math nerd. For his birthday, my son Judah got a Curiosity Box that contained a cool looking t-shirt. I spent some time explaining what was going on in this magical circle, but...

Outside of being a powerful data visualization tool, Tableau is known for its ability to connect to just about anything. This includes a multitude of brand-name databases. But there’s a rising database on the block that’s making waves in the industry called EXASOL. What Is EXASOL? EXASOL...
I recently wrote an article encouraging every Tableau user of every level of proficiency to take the Desktop I: Fundamentals course. Now I’m going to do the same for the next level of training, Desktop II: Intermediate. Here’s what I’ve seen from traveling literally around...
Quite frequently, students in training will ask “How do I make a gauge in Tableau?” While it's possible, it's not one of the default chart types in Tableau and can be somewhat time consuming. Instead, I recommend using bullet graphs, but why? What is it about...
If you’ve kept up with import.io, you know that there were recently some changes to their service model. Unfortunately, free accounts no longer offer API integration, which means we must deprecate the Magic API. The good news is that despite the changes, we have rewritten...
Here’s a question that came out of a class from one of our other trainers: “Student wants a running sum to restart every time the value drops to zero.” How very interesting – a table calculation with a conditional scope. Let’s tackle this problem. Scope & Direction First, let’s...
The latest question from Tableau Training comes from Ryan, who was in a DII: Intermediate course in New York City. "I know I can show top n products with a parameter, but how can I get the top n products nested within other fields?" This is a great...
One of my favorite announcements at TC16 was the new ability for Tableau to natively read shapefiles. Shapefile (.SHP) is a data type used for storing maps. This feature totally revolutionizes the things we can accomplish with our maps inside of Tableau. For more information on using shapefiles...
Ah, the month-on-month comparison. I’m not going to bore you with a sermon on the ins and outs of monthly comparisons, but I do want to explain what this particular variation accomplishes. In my previous post on comparing an incomplete week to the same days of...
Tableau just announced the beta release of Tableau 10.3, and it’s clear that they have been listening to the worldwide Tableau community with the new features and enhancements. While a lot of the new stuff focuses on Tableau Server and Tableau Online, there are exciting...
The latest question from Tableau Training comes from Andy, who was in a DII: Intermediate course in Toronto, Ontario. “I need to match the colors on my charts to my company’s style guide. Is there a way specific colors can be chosen rather than the default...
