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...

When it came to the best solution for integrating Tableau dashboards in 2018, embedded analytics dominated. Once you’ve created the perfect dashboard and it’s been published to Tableau Server, driving traffic to it can be a challenge ...
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....
Question: I thought this would be easy and just a check somewhere, but I can’t figure out how to reverse the order of the colors. As new months are added, they go to the left. I want them on the right. What is the magic...

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...
So, you have this dashboard. It’s a super cool dashboard. You’ve also got an elaborate Tableau Prep workflow to feed your dashboard. Unfortunately, time didn't stop as soon as you finished this project. And with time, comes more data. So, you must go back to...
Question: In my workbook, I’ve created my own problem. I have three parameters that are identical. I’d like to only need to update one, so is there a way to swap these without having to go to every calculation I’ve created with them? This scenario happens...
Question: I’m trying to remove the decimal from my report, but I’m getting unexpected results. With FLOOR or ROUND on my calculation, I still have a decimal. How can I remove it without formatting in the format menu all the time? Questions like this happen to...

There are things in this world that data engineers love and hate. For example, they love green and hate red. Green is good, but when you see red, the ETL job is dead! Data engineers also love seeing the word “success” because it subconsciously triggers...
