Happy New Year! It’s time for my first Workout Wednesday of 2019 and I hope you’re ready for a challenge. This week I’ve decided to take inspiration from a trick or two from past workouts and combine them with some recent work I’ve been doing. To be more specific, one thing about Tableau that I …
We’re back for 2019. We’re using the hashtag #WorkoutWednesday2019. The challenge this week involves building a dynamic drill-down table. This one is slightly more difficult than average so be sure to check the spoilers at the very bottom if need be. Challenge Click to view on Tableau Public Requirements Dashboard size is 500px …
Congratulations for making it to the end of 2018 and the last workout of the year! This week I’ve spiced things up a bit and decided to use a different data set. The data you’ll be working with is a list of Nobel Prize Laureates from 1901 to 2018 (‘present’ at time of writing). And …
Ok, this week is all about working with Containers. Now that we have the ability to control inner/outer padding on Dashboard objects, as well as color, we can really make our dashboards shine without having to float everything. Note on the week, the data/charts don’t really matter, I honestly just threw some on the dashboard. …
This week is another challenge that comes straight from work. I actually had difficulty creating the chart I wanted. I really wanted to sort the states by the selected Sub-Category percentage but I ran out of time and had to hack together a solution for this week. Either way the more important challenge is in …
Last week I had the honor of attending Tapestry Conference in Miami. While I was there Jon Schwabish gave a quick 6 minute talk that connected every chart to every other chart. This along with some of Elijah Meek’s keynote mentioning that data viz is getting more custom and funky got me curious about some …
This week we’re building a chart I was asked to create at work. A stakeholder drew this exact chart type and said, “make the chart look exactly like this!” At first glance I wasn’t sure I would be able to do it. After a little playing around I was able to re-create it! Challenge Click …
Why wait for 2019 when I can start challenging you all right now? I’m not quite ready to jump off the set action hype train yet, and this challenge is setup to help you think about some different ux/ui capabilities that set actions can enable. I don’t anticipate this being the most difficult challenge you’ve …
It’s been way too long since I’ve given you all a challenge. I’ve really enjoyed learning set actions the past two weeks, but if you know anything about me, you know I love table calcs. So guess what? I’m back with a table calcs challenge for you; I know deep down you’ve missed them. In …
Continuing in line with Ann, I thought it would be great to do another challenge around Set Actions. I’ve used “Cross-Highlighting” in Tableau before, but it required a lot of Data Modelling, and was extremely slow on the Public Servers. But with Set Actions, what use to be a very complicated task, can now be …
