Following the budget cuts announced yesterday by George Osbourne I, like I'm sure many of you, have been trying to get to grips with what these cuts will mean for the country going forward. Clicking through some of the reaction on the BBC new website...
Flowing Data laid down the challenge to visual the sexual health and behaviour dataset from Indiana University. Seemed like an interesting topic...
Flowing Data have announce a new Visualise This exercise. The data on the site is only available as an image. For those who want an XLS of the data, here it is! Sexual health survey...
London 2012 published the Olympic ticket prices today. There's lots of good value seats to be had. I took the data from the London 2012 site and built this viz that you can use to find out how much your favourite sport will cost you: Note:...
The government today published details of which quangos they are going to abolish. It's pretty ruthless. Here's an interactive viz using data from the Guardian Data Blog: Bonfire of the quangos Powered by Tableau Click on the Share button above to embed the viz in your own...
I see that Interflora is suing M&S over the latter's keyword piggy-back tactic. I notice that this is also happening in the Fast Analytics world: ...
Congratulations to our Business Intelligence Consultant Darren Evans, whose visualisation for World Aid Donors and Receivers was voted most Beautiful Visualisation This Week on the Tableau Public website. Tableau Public is a free application from Tableau Software, which allows anyone interested in publishing data visualisations...
Warning! This post discusses disc golf. If you’ve not heard of it, just imagine I’m referring to “normal” golf. The US Disc Golf Championships, the world’s toughest, and richest event is happening this week. The leaderboard's on the PDGA.com, and on the USDGC sites are ok,...
There’s a chart doing the rounds that shows who is suing whom in the telecoms industries (eg at the Guardian). David McCandelish has improved it nicely here, and asked the question of whether companies who’s revenue is going down are more litigious than those on...
[Update: in theory, v6.1.1 has made it easier to create the bars described in this post by using REPLACE() and SPACE(). However, at time of writing (19 Aug 2011) there is a problem: while the solution works fine in Tableau Desktop, the view won't display...
I played in the Croydon Cyclone last weekend, a part of the British Disc Golf Association national tour. One hole's layout was controversial. It's short, a distance that almost any player can reach from the tee. The designers spiced things up by surrounding the basket...
Would you like a bottle of Dom Perignon 2000 vintage champagne? If so, read on. There are many things that make working in a business intelligence consultancy enormously satisfying: + you’re presented with a constant stream of fresh, interesting and stimulating challenges + you get to meet some truly great...
With the UN MDG summit underway in New York, Jonathan Glennie of The Guardian has an interesting blog looking at countries contributing to world aid and the countries receiving aid. The blog contains the following visualisation looking at donators and receivers of aid in 2007:...
The Data Studio team are back from an amazing conference in Seattle (we’ll put some pictures up soon!). Next up, we will be taking a trip up to lovely London town to meet up with some of the many other keen users of Tableau. Our...
The XX won the Mercury Prize last night. It's a great album. I personally would have preferred Wild Beasts or the Villagers, but they were a little "out there" for a thinly-veiled sales generator. You can see my Mercury Prize Tableau viz below (or click...
This is the second post about tooltips. In this post, I will describe a technique to add conditional formatting, of a sort, to your viz. This isn't a natively supported feature in Tableau (although it would be lovely if it was!), so you have to...
Tooltips are the missing link between a mark and its underlying data. They provide a valuable opportunity to explain more about the chart without requiring the user to examine the underlying data. The motivation for these posts was seeing so many vizzes on great charts on...
By default, Tableau won't label a bar. The axis is enough for viewers. However, a lot of our users say to us, "We like the bar, but we want to see the numbers as well". Rather than reproduce a bar chart as a table, labelling...
I like disc golf. It's the same kind of thing as ball golf, but played with discs ("frisbees"). Instead of holes in the ground, discs are thrown to metal targets. Just like ball golf, there's a plethora of stats generated. This...
Here in the UK we have just been through (and, at the time of writing, are still enduring) a general election. This presents us with some fantastic datasets. The first place I turn to is the Guardian Data Store, and they provided this, which allowed...
