I have an ongoing reel playing in my mind about the future of business intelligence that I’d like to share with you all. It’s a dream about the future that I’ve been having since I first started using Tableau in 2007. The dream looks like...
If you’re a sports fan like me, the next few weeks can seem like an eternity. The World Cup and NBA Finals are over, and the baseball playoffs have not yet started. Thus, we are left with three long weeks of waiting for the college...
The highlight table allows us to apply conditional formatting to a view. Tableau will automatically apply a color scheme in either a continuous or stepped array of colors from highest to lowest. It is great for comparing a field’s values within a row or column. In...
