The line chart is ideal for when you want to illustrate trends over time. To use the line chart, you must have a date field. In the below example (Figure 1), we are comparing the quarterly profit by SubRegion over the course of several years....
For those of us who cannot live without both the internet and NFL football, Sunday afternoons no longer involve staring at just one screen. The television is dedicated to the game, my phone is dedicated to fantasy football and my laptop is for Reddit game...
Does your organization use data to better inform its marketing? Have you heard the words “segmentation” or “micro-targeting” thrown around and don’t quite understand what it means? In the spirit of the World Series, I give you an example of customer segmentation using baseball. The goal...
The side-by-side circle view is a variant of the circle view. The side-by-side circle allows you to add more measures to be compared next to each other for a richer analysis. To examine the side-by-side circle view, let’s take a hypothetical retail company and use...
Blogging was impossible for me immediately following the 2014 Tableau Conference. I left Seattle on the Friday morning of conference week and spent the next day in Portland doing some consulting work. Notably, our client picked me up in a Tesla Model S (Tableau clients do...
Last time out, I created a very simple and straightforward dashboard based on my family’s finances up to this point in the year. You can find that original dashboard here. While I’m all about making things less complicated than they need to be, I thought it...
Next week, there is a little conference going on in the great city of San Francisco called Graph Connect. Graph Connect is the only conference of its kind. It’s a conference that focuses solely on the world of graph databases and applications, featuring the leading...
The circle view is another powerful visualization for comparative analysis. The example below in Figure 1 has quite a bit of information packed into a single visualization. First, you can see that we are examining the sales figures for each product category. Take a look at...
As a data geek, it’s hard not to be drawn in by a sport like Major League Baseball with such rich statistics readily available. I wasn’t very interested in the game until I discovered how simple it is to collect and analyze data on every...
Treemaps are a relatively new feature to Tableau, first appearing in version 8.0. They are very powerful visualizations, particularly for illustrating hierarchical (tree-structured) data and part-to-whole relationships. Because of their visual nature, treemapping is ideal for legibly showing hundreds or even thousands of items in...
It’s that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting cooler and the end of Daylight Savings Time is right around the corner. Essentially, for people like me, life is going to suck until summer comes back around. But, there...
Because I have just that much free time, I thought I’d take a gander at my spending so far this year using Tableau. The holiday shopping season is coming up, and I wanted to know if I would have any money left to fill stockings...
To examine the side-by-side bar chart, let’s first take three rows of vertical bar charts. These represent sales volume by state and are divided into the three different departments of our fictional company. Figure 1: Vertical bar charts. That view is useful, true, but it has two...
Client requests are sometimes the best way to think outside of the box with Tableau. Sometimes you ask yourself “WHY?” and shake your head. Other times, the requests force you to come up with a creative new solution within Tableau that you’ve never come across...
The stacked bar chart is great for adding another level of detail inside of a horizontal bar chart. You can do this by adding another dimension to your horizontal bar chart that will further divide the measure into sub-groups. The sub-groups are then color-coded on...
Developing interactive web-based data visualizations used to involve long, frustrating hours of hammering out code and mutilating bugs that kept us awake at night. Those days are largely over thanks to tools like Tableau that are as simple as drag, drop and publish. There are...
The Drawing Tool has been incorporated into CBI Studio by InterWorks. Explore CBI Studio to see what’s new. We’re sure that many of you are familiar with Power Tools for Tableau by now. We’ve released two major tool sets, Workbook SDK and Workbook Tools, which make...
The horizontal bar chart is a bit of a misnomer, because simply switching the axes with the Swap button in the Tableau toolbar will magically make a horizontal bar chart into a vertical bar chart! That’s actually not the crux of this chart – it is...
In my developer mind, what takes Tableau 8 from neat to amazing is the ability to manipulate, calculate and maneuver data quickly and easily. Calculated fields allow you to compare fields, apply aggregations, apply logic, concatenate strings, convert dates or perform a myriad of other analytical...
Pie charts are among the most popular, if terribly overused, charts in business presentations. They are best suited to show proportional or percentage relationships. When used in the right circumstance, pie charts can quickly show relative value to the other data points in the measure. Figure...
