A client recently had a challenge wanting to use Exasol’s User-Defined Functions with a Python script, but they were having a hard time coming up with the right syntax to get it working properly. There’s a good deal of documentation out there, though much of...
Portals for Tableau have had the ability to show a sort of live view of the workbooks and dashboards within those workbooks as a part of the navigation for a while now (see this post for more info); however, the portal treated each dashboard as...
There is an example we do in the Tableau Desktop Intermediate course to look at how to union your data. In the example, we use Tableau’s Union function to append different sheets, labeled as different quarters, from a single Excel file into one long table...
Python is quickly becoming the first programming language exposed to non-tech folks. While working on my data pipeline, I found a perfect example of how you can use Python to bring external data into your reporting environment – especially when the host of this data...

Hakuna MaDATA, what a wonderful phrase! It adorned the t-shirts of one of our best partners, Snowflake, at the 2018 Disney Data and Analytics Conference. It’s a fitting slogan not because of the "Lion King" themed event, but because it’s very true of what their...
Yes, I know. Documentation is not a sexy topic. It is not easy to keep documentation updated. It is not always easy to identify the right level of technicality. Finally, we are all more the dashboard builder and tinkerer in our hearts than we are...
While attending the Tableau Conference in London, we received many interesting questions. I want to share one of them here. We want to see sales performance over time. What if we sometimes want to compare different sub-categories separately and just want to see the development...
When asking a recent Tableau class about how they might use Tableau’s mapping features, I had one course member state that a view he currently uses (and is looking to transfer into Tableau) shows the % change in sales from the previous period by either...
