Not everyone is a Tableau guru, at least not yet. To help Tableau rookies, we’re starting from square one with the Tableau Essentials blog series. The series is intended to be an easy-to-read reference on the basics of using Tableau Software, particularly Tableau Desktop 8.1...
The improvements of the Visual Data Window in Tableau 8.2 gave a breath of fresh air to the Tableau community. So far, the new design has been intuitive and user friendly. However, when I went searching for the Custom SQL option when connecting to an...
Let it be duly noted that I used the euphemistic term rather than the pejorative “patent troll”. +1 for me! What is Patent Trolling? When an issue makes to the Office of the President of the United States, you know it’s gotten big. Patent trolling, or using patents to...
If you’re a sports fan like me, the next month can be one of the longest of the year. The World Cup and NBA Finals are over, the British Open just ended, and the baseball playoffs have not yet started. Thus, we are left with...
The release of import.io saves headache and heartache for many data lovers. Using a simple interface and a little bit of magic, manual input of data from websites is shortened to just a few minutes. I can say from experience how pleasant and easy the interface...

Two of my passions in life are data visualization and fighting games. These two passions haven’t overlapped a whole lot, but lately I’m finding more and more uses for data in taking my Ultra Street Fighter 4 game to the next level. Last weekend, July...
Concluding the Tableau workspace in our Tableau Essentials series is the overlooked Status Bar. It runs along the bottom of the application, beneath the Data Window and the worksheet tabs. See it pictured below in Figure 1. Figure 1: The Status Bar. Summary Information The three pieces of...
Building a compelling visualization with Tableau is all about telling a “story.” Within your data, there is a story. That may sound strange to new Tableau users or to data analysts in general, but that’s the best way to describe what it means to “guide”...
When Tableau released Tableau 8.1, there was a lot of buzz surrounding R integration. Tableau 8.1 has come and gone, and Tableau released another great update with Tableau 8.2. However, I still find a lot of confusion and lack of online resources regarding the actual...
Connecting to a data source will likely be the very first thing you do in Tableau Desktop. Today, we will cover how to do just that, as well as some of the different options available to you. In the future, we’ll revisit this subject to...

If you cried as much as I did as the U.S. Men’s National Team settled for a draw against Portugal last night, then you’ve probably spent your Monday pouring over the slew of scenarios for the last match against Germany on Thursday. Nate Silver and his...
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Alteryx Inspire 2014 conference in San Diego. The show was well-presented by Alteryx and conveyed a very consistent message of “data for the people.” I’ve attended many conferences over the past 25 years, and I have to...
Continuing the series, a question came up concerning Tableau actions in my latest class. The user wanted to have a complete understanding of what happens when they add a filter action and how to know if the action was applied correctly. This blog post is...
