This question came up from one of the attendees where I was leading a Tableau Workshop and it’s not the first time either! After showing a demo of creating a crosstab, they asked: "Can we colour a specific column or row in a crosstab?" So, here it is...
Swapping sheets with parameters should be something you either learned in your intermediate Tableau Desktop training class or from a colleague. It is a nice technique, and I still enjoy teaching it to Tableau students who struggle to understand the difference between green and blue...
Tableau is a ground-breaking visual tool. As a result, it’s natural that Portals for Tableau would leverage those great visuals as thumbnails when listing dashboards on the home page. However, Tableau is also known for its ability to reflect the latest data in those visuals. Your data is...
You’ve just built this amazing visualization that pulls together data from across your organization, blending data in never before seen ways, with some exciting new imagery that causes the audience’s eyes to drool. However, to your dismay, it takes a few extra seconds to render...
As a basketball fan, there are few places with a more unique history and culture than New York City. Since the sport’s early days, NYC has been a breeding ground for some of the best talent on earth to cut their teeth on playgrounds and...
Recently, I’ve found myself setting up dashboards with navigation panes for one reason or another. Whilst this could be accomplished with a parameter-based drop-down or by navigating to different dashboards, if speed isn’t a concern, then it can be a great boost to the user...
From the very beginning of our Tableau journey, we use the Data Connection Page to connect to data sources and even modify the data connection for additional combinations of information. In this article from the Tableau Extended series, I’m going to fully introduce the Data...

InterWorks Solutions Architect Tony Kau asks the tough (and some not-so-tough) questions about Tableau Server...
This is a question that came up in a class I taught to a commercial airline who were looking at their web analytics data, I also taught it in a colleague’s class dealing with car parking at airports: “How can I compare a metric against the same...
Welcome back! The holiday season flew by, and if people were feeling generous, then it’s likely many non-profit organizations were showered in charitable donations. What does that have to do with machine learning? Let’s find out as we explore the second project in Udacity’s machine learning nanodegree. Can...
This question came from Jerry in a New York City Desktop I class: “How can I change this view so my reference line labels are easier to read?” Great question! I agree – they are kind of tricky to read on the left-hand side of our groups...
It’s a common trope in the data analytics community to tsk tsk at any mention or appearance of the poor pie chart. There’s no other chart type that collects such derision and disdain. But why? Let’s tackle the pie chart and explain how it is...
It’s the first Podcast Your Data! episode of the new year, and there is already plenty to discuss. We have a full cast of characters as Robert Rouse, Tony Kau and Brad Fair team up for a roundtable discussion on everything you need to know...
There’s significant merit to the phrase, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If you’re currently running Tableau Server in your organization on Windows, but considering making the switch to Linux, please use this blog post to help you arrive at an informed decision. We’ll...
In this installment of The Quantified Car series, I want to discuss path maps. We know that Tableau can draw polygon or filled maps, but it can also draw points on a map using circle marks. Path maps are used to draw lines between those...
One of the many helpful features in Tableau is the ability to create dynamic text boxes that update depending on user selection or other events on the dashboard. It’s a common practice to use parameters in text boxes. That’s why I would like to offer a...
If you’ve been looking for a way to load JSON data into EXASOL with just a click, then you’ll love this post! As data scientists, most of our time is spent preparing data for analysis and modeling. In my professional experience, I have faced many hurdles...
In part one of this two-parter, I went into a lot of depth on how to use custom sorts within table calculations. I highly recommend reading that article first before continuing with the second part. In this post, we’re going to apply those ideas to illustrate...
In a Desktop II: Intermediate course I recently taught, a student asked, “When would I ever need the specific dimensions option with table calculations?” This is a great question! We know that we can utilize the prebuilt options in our table calculation dialog box to...
"Which is your favorite Christmas movie?" is a question often asked during the holiday season. And an even more convoluted question, "Is Die Hard really a Christmas Movie?"
