It goes without saying (though the whole point of this blog is to say it) that 2020 was a year unlike any other. For many of us, what come to mind first are the negative aspects of the year: COVID, wildfires, social injustice, isolation. But...
What a year. A year with so much potential for puns (think: hindsight is 2020, 2020 vision … if only) turned out to be quite different. Rather than sounding like a good joke, many people will forever react to hearing “2020” the same way characters...
A couple of months into my life at InterWorks, I was asked to shadow an Alteryx project for a client. Well, I did not actually end up shadowing; it became more of an Alteryx challenge set by the project lead. “Robin, instead of you just staring...
How the heck does this function work? You know what? I have been working with (and teaching) Tableau for over five years. Have a guess at when I finally understood the PREVIOUS_VALUE function ...
"It doesn't have to look good. It just has to work." I have a client who often says this when I start a new dashboarding project. The statement seems paradoxical because design and functionality are so intertwined. As Laws of UX says, "Users often perceive aesthetically...
Congratulations to each and every one of you on making it through the toughest year I could have ever imagined. This year has been filled with so much pain, disappointment and fear, but now that we are nearing the end, I cannot say anything other...

Even though 2020 has made staying connected to a supportive community a tough puzzle to solve, people are continuing to find a way, and one group that proves their determination and creativity in spades is the Tableau community. Since the global pandemic has changed our plans...
2020 has been filled with unexpected surprises. From the global pandemic we find ourselves in to the disappearance of the business travel I had grown to love, the way this year has wrapped up was not at all expected. While the days of traveling to...
We recently partnered with Tableau to give a couple of talks called the Tableau Performance Series. In our first webinar, we talked about what to look for in Tableau Desktop to improve performance, and we finished out with a presentation on Tableau Server itself and...
Another month, another virtual Lunch & Learn in the books! This time, we discussed row-level security in Tableau Desktop. Row-Level Security in Tableau Desktop Row-level security allows you to filter out data from your dashboards based on the user profile accessing your data. This may sound a...
Question: I need to script tabcmd commands but can't leave passwords in plaintext inside scripts! How can I script tabcmd commands securely? The Challenge Tabcmd requires a username and a password passed to it in order to log into a Tableau Server site. While this is fine...
To my surprise, the question of how to manipulate Grand Totals in Tableau arises quite frequently. Most times when it comes to Grand Totals, it is about tinkering with a table or plot so that it will show the most valuable output for the user....
Question: I renewed my subscriptions in Tableau Server, but my licenses no longer show on the server following the old key expiring. However, I see the new key in my customer portal. What happened? We’ve seen this question come across the Assist desk a few times...

Often, clients want to show a geographic area of their coverage for some services. This might be countries per region or sales rep, or it might be countries where the product can be sold, etc. Now in Tableau, you can imagine that you would have...
Whether you are new to Tableau or have been using the tool for quite some time, Tableau provides a wide variety of options to improve your skills, get in touch with other community members, contribute to the data community and get inspired. In this blog...
Data is rarely perfect, and we know preparation matters – badly prepared data risks being slow or inaccurate. In an ideal world, we’d build our data prep into the data source or in something like Tableau Prep, providing a consistent (and likely faster) data source...
Recently, one of my colleagues had an interesting issue with a client’s request. The client they were working with was getting a file in a specific structure from their source system. This file was, of course, only available as an Excel export. For simplicity’s sake,...
