Data

I often find myself building dashboards with a parameter to compare baseline data to different scenarios. Because these scenarios are built out in different worksheets, I am faced with the challenge of correctly displaying changes in results compared to each other. In the mocked-up example...

Starting in version 2018.2 for Windows, Tableau Server comes with some very exciting features, especially if you’re a server administrator. Collectively named TSM, Tableau has included new management tools, improved administrative interfaces, and better configuration-change handling.

Do you ever have those watercooler debates at work that never get a real sense of finality? A coworker claims the trade OKC made for Carmelo Anthony was worth it, and you know in your heart that they are completely wrong, but you keep it...

Visualizing financial statements is hard. While not inherently a difficult task, when I speak with many of my clients' financial teams, their data tends to be some of the most sensitive that the company possesses, and for that reason, its presentation is very particularly curated....

This visualization has a personal aspect for me. In April 2017, I was approached by the Tableau Foundation to volunteer my Tableau skills to teach data literacy and Tableau Desktop to government agencies in Myanmar (formerly Burma) with the hope of empowering them with good information...

Since I have started using Tableau Prep, I can’t overstate how helpful it has been for cleaning, shaping and exploring my data before I start visualizing it in Tableau Desktop. However, one concept eluded me at first, and that was the Aggregate step. Why add...

Table calculations enable you to do amazing things in Tableau. However, these work off of data that has already been aggregated. For example, a moving average is the moving average of the sum of some metric for each period. What if we needed a way...

I have always been interested in personality types. They are helpful in giving clues into how people think and behave. So, I wanted to build a dashboard to allow people to explore how they compare to others who have taken the Myers Briggs Personality Test....

It's something that keeps us all up at night - will the robots take over tomorrow? Okay, maybe you don't worry about it. And neither does Daniel Whitenack. Daniel is a data scientist, professor, podcaster, and innovator in the space of artificial intelligence and machine learning. And...

As you probably know by now, Portals for Tableau can have a completely custom theme. Each portal can look completely different from every other portal. On top of that, a single portal can look completely different depending on which groups the logged-in user is a...
