Introduction I was recently catching up on the Flerlage Twins blog, and came across a post that I had somehow missed from the end of last year about trying to solve a highlighting problem with donut charts when filtering. I read through it, and was surprised that my favorite technique from Yuri Fal didn’t work, …

Introduction A couple weeks ago while standing in line for Ken and Kevin Flerlage’s session at Tableau Conference, I had a conversation with the woman next to me that led to something like “what is something you’re trying to solve right now?” Her response was that her boss wanted to have something of a stoplight …

Introduction While reviewing recent work I’ve done in preparation for this week’s challenge, I came across a tile map with individual area charts by state that we use to monitor subscriptions, and thought it would be a fun one. As I dug into it, I realized it was inspired by Luke’s challenge in 2020 Week …

Introduction This week’s challenge is another from recent experience. As we have spikes or drops with various metrics, we found that we often asked the same questions…What marketing campaigns were happening at that time? Did we send any big email campaigns around then? Did we launch a new product feature or experiment? With all these …

Introduction As we finish up Global Recognition Month, I’d like to introduce you to Shunta Nakajima (@Dandee_House), a BI Engineer from Japan who has been a regular participant in #WOW2023 challenges. Over to you Shunta…. [JP] 私がWorkoutWednesdayを知ったのが2020年、それ以来約3年間多くのチャレンジに取り組み、非常にたくさんのことを学ぶことができました。WOWのおかげで、私のTableauスキルを向上させることができました。今回、ゲストとして私のチャレンジを紹介できることになり、非常にワクワクしています。 Kyle,どうもありがとう！ さて、今回のチャレンジでは私の大好きなチャートタイプの１つである、棒グラフとローソクの組み合わせを題材にしました。 私が初めてこのチャートタイプを知ったのは、かつてこのWOWを立ち上げ、またもう一つの素晴らしいコミュニティイベントであるMakeoverMondayを最近まで主宰していたAndy KriebelさんのVizです。 彼の表現方法を一目見て「すごく良いな」と思い、私も自身が作るVizのいくつかに取り入れるようになりました。 このチャートタイプの作成方法について詳細を知りたい場合は、彼のYoutube動画 を参照ください。 また、チャレンジには私がWOWを通して学んだいくつかのテクニックも盛り込んでいます。 それでは楽しんでください！ [EN] The first time I came across WorkoutWednesday was …

Introduction This week’s challenge is another inspired by my everyday work. As we launch new features, we look at how different segments of users engage with them.

Introduction Recently, I needed to build a dashboard from some pre-aggregated, segmented data counting unique users. This created some difficulty, because we may want to look at overall numbers, or one segment, or multiple segments, and that changes the user counts. Each of these have their own level of aggregation in the data, so it …

Introduction We’re continuing retro month this week, and I decided to re-viz Andy’s Week 41 challenge from 2017. I chose this one because I really like the concept of being able to drill down from state into city on the same chart, but I wondered if things would be easier than the calculations required to …

Introduction This week’s challenge is another exploration of dynamic zone visibility, this time combined with a mobile app-like concept. Sometimes executives need just a few critical metrics at their fingertips, and this is a concept I’ve mulled around for a while (probably stemming from this concept by Anya A’Hearn) but felt like dynamic zone visibility …
