We’ve all seen an infomercial, and if you haven’t, you might as well take this as a cue to jump onto YouTube and ask for some of the best Infomercials ever made. For some inspiration, you can try looking up OxiClean, George Foreman Grills, The...
Well, we survived the heat of the summer! With autumn on our doorstep and the summer heat finally breaking here in the northern hemisphere, our US and EMEA teams are looking forward to dusting off our boots, jackets and pants again. For me, personally, I'll...
It’s been a minute since we looked at the process to migrate from your own Tableau Server onto the Tableau-hosted SaaS offering Tableau Cloud. If you’re considering the move, below is an updated list of considerations that could impact your decision process. Updated User Considerations Tableau Cloud...
Congratulations! You’ve just rolled out Tableau and are beginning to onboard users. Everyone is excited and ready to get started using Tableau. People are off building dashboards and reports, but then the inevitable happens. “Wait a minute, these numbers don’t look right.” “Why does this dashboard say...
Our tech-savvy audience is used to clicking their way through to their goals, be it an Uber Eats late evening order or selecting trains on a timetable. Why not offer them the same interactive experience in Tableau where they can use buttons to toggle between views? In...
As you surely know, there’s much to be considered when it comes to your Tableau environment. This is especially true for those planning a migration from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud. There are migration factors that apply to most Tableau environments (as Tony eloquently outlines...
If we cast our minds back to April 2021, fans of football around Europe came together to squash the proposed “European Super League” idea, which would see a select few teams played against each other in a closed shop league with no relegation or promotion. The...
Comparing Upgrades for Different Versions of Tableau I’ve built a Tableau dashboard here to help see the new features between your existing Tableau version and potential planned upgrades. It also includes options for Tableau Server, Desktop, Mobile and Cloud. If you want to know more about why...
Let’s go deeper and see what happens when we break the cardinality, or in other words, use it in a way it’s not designed for. Also, it helps to understand everything a bit better. For those looking for more of an introduction to performance, you...
The Introduction I picked this topic to blog about for two reasons. The most important reason is because it’s one of my biggest hobbies. I love to invest, research companies and explore the data associated with them. These things have always interested me, and I noticed...
Fun trivia fact about August you probably learned at school: the month was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus by, well, himself! Actually, all of the English language month names are carried over from Roman naming conventions. I'm a sucker for history, and month names...
Last year's Fantasy Football saw some wild rides, with early favorite Christian McCaffrey injured early and Cooper Kupp going absolutely HAM in PPR especially. COVID didn’t impact the season as much as it could have, fortunately and we’re not likely to see any further major...
Now, let’s look into the second part of the Performance Options: Referential Integrity. What a daunting phrase! Sounds scary, but it’s actually simpler than the Cardinality. With this option, we tell Tableau whether it should expect values to have a match in the other table or...
It may happen that we work with really big tables that are not just a few rows but millions or even billions of rows. Tableau’s VizQL’s SQL (what a beginning of a sentence!) has to query all these tables, and that takes time. When we...
From here on out (at least for a few posts), we will have a look into the Performance Options of Relationships that are shown when we design a relation between two tables. If you have no idea what I am talking about, chances are that...
The new data model brought us the Logical Layer, from which we can draw specific tables without being forced to load the data from all the related tables. Remember, with traditional joins, all sheets that worked with that join had to load the full data...
There are quite a few tips and tricks out there for Relationships in Tableau; just not nearly as many as for every other topic in Tableau, which is a shame. Nevertheless, this article is supposed to grow over time, and we start with something very...
Until Tableau version 2020.1, whenever we had two or more tables that we wanted to connect with each other, we had to either join them or blend them. If you aren't sure about joins, please take a minute and get yourself up to speed. We...
I certainly can’t speak for every InterWorker around the globe, but July was a scorching hot month for us in InterWorks' home state of Oklahoma. The highest we saw at our satellite office in Oklahoma City was somewhere around 114 degrees Fahrenheit (or somewhere around...
.mejs-container .mejs-controls { background:#f7f7f7 !important; } Relationships work on what Tableau calls the Logical Layer, while traditional joins work on the Physical Layer. Let’s have a look at what those two layers actually mean and why they have their names.
