Monthly blog roundups recap all the content on the blog for each month. These posts provide an easy way to skim through content that interests you.
Now that July has come and gone, summer is nearly over. With four vizzes this month designed by our amazing analysts and a particularly relevant blog by David Duncan on design, July was clearly the month of dashboard design. With the countdown to the Tableau Conference beginning, people are more focused than ever on best practices and dashboard optimization.
Speaking of Tableau best practices, Zion Spencer has helped create a number of Power Tools for Tableau demos. With David and Zion’s help, there’s no reason anyone can’t create visually dynamic and informative dashboards.
Happy reading and we hope you learn something new!
