Data

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...

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...

We’ve already covered the other type of map view in the symbol map article. Now, let’s look at the filled map chart type. The filled map is another view ideal for geographic data. Instead of circles or squares to display data points, the filled map uses...

The Value of Measures? What are Measure Names and Measure Values and how do they work? These are built in Tableau fields and they have 2 main uses or strictly speaking two variations of the same functionality. The first is a Combined Axis Chart and the...

Forecasting is a word that tends to get some interesting reactions from people I meet. The most frequent reaction I think I encounter is one of slight intimidation. Forecasting has a simple point – use history to predict the most statistically likely future. When it...

I’ve seen it a dozen times in classes that I have taught. A student is digging Tableau (who doesn’t?) and all of the ways that it can present data. While working through the classroom examples, everything is going smoothly. Then, someone connects to their own...

Now that I’ve recovered and am fully awake from my overdose on data, I thought I’d share some follow-up thoughts on TC14. I primarily want to talk about some of the exciting new things Tableau announced as features coming down from R&D. I’m also announcing...

Tableau unveiled their newest Tableau Zen Masters today. Among those honored was InterWorks' Director of BI Services and "Tableau Your Data!" author, Dan Murray. Murray joins an elite group of data visualization experts, with Zen Master being the highest distinction Tableau can give to those who have made an impact on...

In my first InterWorks blog post, I’ve decided to write about something that I commonly used in other BI platforms. The idea of passing parameters in Microsoft and IBM products is vastly used in reporting. A user can define their parameter before running the report....

Over 1000 companies adopted Tableau Online in the first nine months in market, making it Tableau’s fastest-growing product. Tableau has dominated the BI market with 80% growth in just the last year.

Here at InterWorks, we all love Tableau. We all know that Tableau is an amazing visualization tool that allows its users to connect to a wide variety of data sources in order to visualize their data. Being a student of the pure sciences (math and...
