If you’ve evolved to the point where your dashboards are crunching gobs of data and are powerful enough to warrant numerous filters and parameters to drill down for myriad uses, you may have been annoyed with waiting for each filter to be applied before being...
It’s August again, which means it’s still hot, but football is here! Personally, I’ve been enjoying a ton of baseball and the gobsmackload of home runs we’re seeing. The World Cup was also simply outstanding start to finish, but football in America means only one thing:...
I love cars. The way they sound, the way the smell and the way they feel when you're cruising down long roads. But sometimes, finding the right car for the experience can be troublesome. Car shopping is a lot like dating. There is a lot...

Recently, I was required to prepare data in Alteryx and output it into a .Hyper file to create a Tableau workbook. The data that was being utilised looked at past sales and potential future sales. The dataset was a very large dataset, over 20 million...

Question: "I want to build a Sankey diagram with my survey data, but I don’t know how to even start this. I want to be able to see someone’s response before exposure and after exposure to the test object we are surveying on. Could we hop...
Every single day, I get emails from former students asking for help with everything from visual best practices to calculated fields. Sometimes the questions are quick while others require more thought. Some may be deceptively simple questions that turn into something more complicated than first thought. What...
Portals for Tableau are created and maintained by lazy people. Many people that administer and use Portals for Tableau are also lazy people. This is not a bad thing. In fact, I would argue it’s dumb to do more work than is necessary. As a...
Matillion – cool name, cool tech. Before I get into the actual tech, I’ve just got to comment: Who comes up with all these company names? It seems like in the entire tech industry, the Coolest Names Award is going to big data. Okay back...
The point of the #MakeoverMonday project is to take an existing data visualization and improve it. But how can you improve anything that "The Economist" creates? They have such a knack for breaking down complicated topics into clean, clear and concise visualizations. So, when I...
The idea behind this blog post is to document a novel approach I have come up with to allow for date selection in a report that defaults to the most recent time frame. There are multiple ways this sort of problem can be solved. My...
