A common question that often comes up in trainings is: “How do I add gaps between the bars of my visualizations?” The first thing to know is whether or not your graph should have spaces between the bars or not. If you are trying to visualize ordered...
Last week, we shared a link to InterWorks and Princeton University's sponsored session at Tableau Conference 2015. Today, we'd like to share even more sessions from some of InterWorks' friends and clients. Below, you can discover how Arby's and Cars.com have used Tableau to forever change...
Two weeks ago, I shared "TCU @ Oklahoma State by the Numbers." TCU had a solid advantage over OSU in most statistical categories leading into that game, yet OSU defied the numbers and came out with a convincing win. Last week, OSU scraped out a hard-fought win on the road at Iowa State...
The ability to create macros that can be shared and used in other workflows as tools is one of the greatest features of Alteryx. Each macro works like a user-defined function that you would create in another language, like R. A standard macro takes a...
One of my favorite chart types in Tableau is the dual-axis chart. It’s a thing of beauty! Most often in client engagements, this chart type will be used to compare a base metric with a series of user-selected secondary metrics via a parameter. The best...
Above: Princeton's Heather Campbell presenting at TC15. We did a lot of fun things at Tableau Conference 2015, but one of our favorites was presenting a session with our friends over at Princeton University. InterWorks' Kate Treadwell took the stage with Princeton's Director of Analytics & Data...
For a variety of reasons, businesses do not always tie their fiscal year to the standard calendar year. There are numerous explanations of why this might be beneficial to an organization, and they all seem to lead several of my clients to the exact same...
Many of us embed visualizations in our websites, and they likely look great on our own monitors, but what about on your boss’s giant, 28-inch iMac monitor? How do they look on a projector? How do they look on an iPad? In today’s world of varying...
A common question that often comes up in trainings is: “How do I run a 'difference between two dates' calculation only considering business days?” In order to focus on business days, we need to adjust our calculated field to define what a “Business Day” is. First, we need...
Let’s take a look at the next item on our rending category. "Limit the use of detailed text tables with lots of marks." Ah yes, the fabled Text Table. Mark Counts Let’s start this discussion by reviewing mark counts. We covered this in the previous Rendering article in the...
TCU plays against Oklahoma State tomorrow, and few are giving OSU a chance in the matchup. OSU is surprisingly strong at home and TCU appears to have some weaknesses on the road that many are ignoring. See how both teams stack up thanks to some...
Today, I ran into a Tableau issue that I couldn't solve through googling. Using SAML and attempting to connect to Tableau Server from Tableau Desktop, I wasn't given the option to enter a username and password. Instead, I received this message containing "errorCode=16:" Here's What Happened I was...
Tableau Conference 2015 officially ended a little over a week ago, and I'm already missing Vegas and all my fellow InterWorkers. Fortunately, I took plenty of pictures to relive the conference in all its glory. If you know me, then you know that my selfie...
The first item in the Rendering category is: "Avoid high mark counts. More marks = longer rendering time." Let’s jump right in on this one. Mark Counts Marks are the points, plots or symbols on your visualization. They can be the bars in your horizontal bar graph or the...
Just a few days ago, Tableau Conference 2015 came to a close. :( It was sad to see it end, but we had to return the real world sometime, right? Well, here we are. Now that we’ve settled back in, we can finally put the conference...
As Tableau Developers, we hate to see our work flattened and shoved into a PowerPoint file. We love to see our work displayed in it's fullest, greatest ways - full of filters, parameters and tooltips for our users to play around with. Occasionally, though, we have a few...
The Drawing Tool has been incorporated into CBI Studio by InterWorks. Explore CBI Studio to see what’s new. What’s not to love about dinosaurs? Their size, their teeth, their mystery – they still capture my imagination just as they did when I was six years old...
We all know that TC15 brings together quite the variety of people from around the country and even around the world. The question, however, is where exactly are all these people coming from? I managed to get my hands on some data surrounding this year's attendees...
