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...
Question: "I’ve established the data relationship, but the number still won’t show and I still get this error. What am I doing wrong?" Blending is one of those features that we see many issues with. Some users don’t realize they’ve started a blend while others may have...
Picture this: You are trying to build a sales dashboard in Tableau Desktop to show your boss how great you are. But hey, there is one issue: The data you have is currently in a structure not suitable for Tableau Desktop. You need to crosstab...
Normally when I build a dashboard, I approach it like a funnel: I start with the big picture first and then narrow into more specific details. This allows viewers to establish context and get the most important insights right from the start and then choose...

Question for this week: My users love the dashboards, but they want to get an email with the dashboard filtered to their specific options without having to click the filter. Can we set up a script to send an email to the user with their dashboard...
Everyone is familiar with Google Analytics for tracking web usage. However, some organizations have policies that don’t allow for that data to be collected by a third party or don’t like Google Analytics for some other reason. For instance, maybe Google Analytics forgot to send you...
For the second post in my continuing series on Snowflake, I wanted to expand on some concepts covered in my JSON post. Last month, I walked you through how to work with JSON in Snowflake and discussed the process Snowflake uses to flatten JSON arrays...
I grew up watching college football and always remembered that iconic maize and blue. Now as an adult, Michigan football is somewhat of a family tradition. I watch their games every Saturday during the year with my friends and family, occasionally making the trip up...
Ottawa: Capital city to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Home to astronauts, comedians, musicians and more. The University of Ottawa educated the greatest game show host of all time, Alex Trebek, who studied philosophy (presumably because he couldn’t major in trivia). But most exciting of...
A question that seems to come up every so often as a consultant is around how Tableau doesn’t show data where there is no data. Sounds kinda obvious, doesn’t it? But let’s frame this slightly differently and we can see that whilst this does make...
"My LOD calculation results are not matching up during QA, and I can’t figure out what’s different. Can we hop on a screenshare to discuss?" We hopped on a screenshare with the client. Upon reviewing the two views with her, everything appeared to be in order...

Was anyone else fascinated with the American sitcom “The Jetsons” growing up? I know I was. The imaginative, futuristic world was so captivating to me, making me wonder if we would ever have holograms or talking robots. I was most intrigued by the flying cars,...
