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...

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...
Those who know me from the Tableau forums or Twitter, or the UK Tableau User Group know that I love Tableau.Those that don’t know me: well, I work at the University of Oxford, and have been using Tableau since December 2007. Since then, I have been raving about...
The Data Studio team will be visiting Seattle for this year’s annual Tableau Conference, an event where smart people and top people in data visualisation and business intelligence come to learn, share, and get inspired. Come and say hello if you are also attending – we’d...

Last weekend I created a pretty detailed analysis of the 2009 Tour De France results along with historical race results going back to the first year the tour was held, 1903. You need to download Tableau's FREE reader product to play with the file. You can...
Disclaimer: I am purposely withholding a detailed analysis as I do not feel qualified to make statistical judgements about the data, but rather present these graphs in hope that it gives a new and different perspective on the impact that twitter has on spreading information. Like...
