(Note: All the charts we build are included at the bottom of this article in a packaged workbook available for you to download.) Table calculations in Tableau can get complicated very quickly. But these extra little features make a big difference, such as computing specific dimensions,...
I’m a Tableau certified trainer and Analytics Consultant based in Melbourne, Australia. I’ve written many articles on the InterWorks blog in order to help answer the same questions I get from my students and clients. For today’s Tableau Extended post, we’re going to focus on...
If you use InterWorks’ version of embedded analytics, Portals for Tableau, you already know how quick and easy it is to display a dashboard in it. If you aren’t lucky enough to have experienced creating a dashboard in a portal, it’s easier than cracking the screen...
This week, we have a special episode of Podcast Your Data! from across the pond! InterWorks U.K.’s Sian Davies hosts Tech Talent Charter CEO Debbie Forster. As a member of the British Empire and one of the “20 Most Influential Women in U.K. IT” since...
In part one of this series, I laid out a pretty grim reality for many organizations seeking to gain insight from data science. For this post, I will spend more time talking about the exciting possibilities that can be accomplished with data science rather than...
Every once in a while, I wake up in the middle of the night and don’t feel like reading a book. This happened a few weeks ago and I started thinking about business information and the alphabet. I decided to try to come up with a...
(Note: This post is an expanded version of an article I originally posted on the Tableau Community Forums prior to joining InterWorks.) Tableau has the awesome capability to build bins and instantly create histograms, but it comes with a couple limitations. First, bins are not available...
What is the most valuable commodity for your finance team? You might say people. Well, let's assume you have the right people, with the right skills, in the right jobs. After that, what would be your answer? My answer would be time. Time is a scarce resource in...
Welcome back! Today we're going to trace my steps through the first few weeks of the Machine Learning Nanodegree program. If you missed the first post, check it out! So far, I'm feeling good about my experience and I'm excited to share what I've learned...
Like most people here at InterWorks, I really love data. I’ve been collecting data about different aspects of my life for a long time. Several years ago, I discovered Automatic - a little device that plugs into your car’s on-board diagnostics port and logs data about...
During a recent project, I received an interesting question: “Can we swap what dimension is displayed in a stacked bar chart based on a filter being applied?” I’ve decided it would be easier for me to answer this question by showing you how to do it with the...
Washington, D.C. is packed with incredible places to visit. As someone who didn’t grow up near the U.S. capital, I am constantly amazed during each visit by the access to museums, culture and history I could only read about while growing up in Colorado. The trouble with...
Today, we've got a special political edition of Podcast Your Data! InterWorks' Michael Treadwell discusses data analytics in local government with Oliver Wise. As the Director of Performance and Accountability in New Orleans, Oliver is all about using data in a positive way to impact...
One of my least favorite phrases currently being used in the analytics world is “data science.” This is ironic since “data science” is in my official InterWorks job title. But every time I hear the phrase, I get a little knot in my stomach similar to...
InterWorks has created several blog series targeting Tableau users, including the "Tableau Essentials" series, the "Tableau Performance Checklist" and my own "Tableau Deep Dives." These articles are among the most popular on our blog and our readers are always asking for more content on how...
Tableau isn't just a useful tool for visualising and analysing data. There's no doubt it has enabled me to improve and optimise my team, but there's another benefit I did not initially appreciate when I first began using Tableau. Coming from the world of Excel,...
It might sound controversial, but a common practice in my family (and many families throughout Louisiana) was something called "hotsaucing." What exactly is that? When your a kid acts up, you punish them by making them eat a little bit of hot sauce. The jury is...
Table calculations are one of the hardest functions to understand in Tableau Desktop. A lot of us are guilty of clicking through every single option on the table calculation window until we find something that looks right. There is a lot of great material out...
I finally cracked and decided to shove everything in my personal life aside for the next few months to take on Udacity’s Machine Learning Nanodegree Program. Goodbye video games and ice-cold beer! On second thought, beer, you should stay. I might require a cheerleader. Jokes aside, I’ve had my...
While teaching a Desktop I and II Accelerated class last week in Perth, I got an interesting question from a Tableau student named Clint. "Can you make a highlight dynamic so that it will highlight just the top 10 or top 20?" When it comes to Tableau, the...
