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...

Treemaps are a relatively new feature to Tableau, first appearing in version 8.0.
