Now that I’ve recovered and am fully awake from my overdose on data, I thought I’d share some follow-up thoughts on TC14. I primarily want to talk about some of the exciting new things Tableau announced as features coming down from R&D. I’m also announcing...
Here at InterWorks Marketing, we work hard to prepare for the largest Tableau community event of the year. If you’ve seen us at the Tableau Customer Conference in the past, you know that we don’t treat this like just another conference. We don’t drag out...

In my first InterWorks blog post, I’ve decided to write about something that I commonly used in other BI platforms. The idea of passing parameters in Microsoft and IBM products is vastly used in reporting. A user can define their parameter before running the report....
Last year, in July, Tableau Software introduced Tableau Online, their cloud-based product. Over 1000 companies adopted Tableau Online in the first nine months in market, making it Tableau’s fastest-growing product. Tableau has dominated the BI market with 80% growth in just the last year. Transitioning Big Data...

One of the great features about Tableau Software is the ease in utilizing maps for your visualizations. There are two chart types to choose from when creating a view with geographic data: symbol maps and filled maps. In this article, we’ll cover symbol maps. These...
Here at InterWorks, we all love Tableau. We all know that Tableau is an amazing visualization tool that allows its users to connect to a wide variety of data sources in order to visualize their data. Being a student of the pure sciences (math and...
You have to make an important business trip that involves driving through heavy traffic. You jump into your brand new company car ready to set off, only to discover things are not what you expected. There is no steering wheel in front of you. The...
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...
To take a more visual approach to showing data than we might typically see in a crosstab, let’s consider a heat map. A heat map is a great way to compare categories using color and size. In this, you can compare two different measures. In...

The improvements of the Visual Data Window in Tableau 8.2 gave a breath of fresh air to the Tableau community. So far, the new design has been intuitive and user friendly. However, when I went searching for the Custom SQL option when connecting to an...
Let it be duly noted that I used the euphemistic term rather than the pejorative “patent troll”. +1 for me! What is Patent Trolling? When an issue makes to the Office of the President of the United States, you know it’s gotten big. Patent trolling, or using patents to...
