The Radio Top 2000 visualised – edition 2022

2023-01-10 by Johan de Groot

I visualized the Top 2000 as broadcast by Radio 2 for the 11th time (I believe) in a different way using Tableau.

De Top 2000 van 2022 gevisualiseerd

2023-01-10 by Johan de Groot

De Top 2000 zoals uitgezonden door Radio 2 heb ik gevisualiseerd met behulp van Tableau.

Dit jaar wat minder nadruk op een de vorm (hoewel ik heb gekozen voor een gedempte sinus, wat niet bepaald een veelgebruikte manier van weergeven is…).

Tableau’s Order of Operations

2022-10-18 by Johan de Groot

The order of operations in Tableau refers to the sequence in which the software processes the data and calculations in a given worksheet or visualization.

The order of operations in Tableau is the order in which Tableau performs its various actions. An action is mostly identified as a filter, but can also be a calculation or another Tableau feature which is computed.

This is Tableau’s Order of Operations:

Tableau's Order of Operations
Tableau’s Order of Operations

It shows in which sequence filters are handled with by Tableau: first extract filters, than datasource, context, dimension, measure and table calculation filters.

The ‘inserts’ on the right are calculations themselves.

Top 2000 of Radio 2 – Edition 2021

2022-01-01 by Johan de Groot

It’s that time of year again… – the Visualisation of the Top 2000 of Radio 2!

One of my traditions is to visualize the Top 2000 as being broadcasting by the Dutch radio station Radio 2 using Tableau.
This time I choose a circular visualisation of the list, with a detailed/zoomed-in look at the chose title inside the circle. Changing a title can be done via the drop-down, but also by clicking in the circle (either one) or in the list of entries of the artist.

Top 2000 van Radio 2 – Editie 2021

2021-12-30 by Johan de Groot

Het is weer die tijd van het jaar – de Visualisatie van de Top 2000 van Radio 2…

De Top 2000 zoals uitgezonden door Radio 2 heb ik voor de 10e keer (geloof ik) op een andere manier gevisualiseerd met behulp van Tableau.
Dit keer is er gekozen voor een circulaire weergave van de lijst van dit jaar, met een ‘detail’ van het gekozen nummer in de cirkel. Je kunt een nummer kiezen uit het dropdown menu, maar ook klikken in de cirkel of in de lijst met noteringen van de desbetreffende artiest.

Weather Forecast in Tableau

2021-09-07 by Johan de Groot

The most talked about topic in the world is probably the weather. And if you want to talk about, you need to know the data 😉

This dashboard show the weather forecast in my location for today and the next 4 days.

Top 2000 visualisation – edition 2020

2021-01-04 by Johan de Groot

The Top 2000 edition of 2020 isn’t a fancy data visualisation with extensive data-preparation and/or mathematical formulas like last year, but a visualisation with the emphasis on what you can do with relative simple graphical elements. This approach can change the look and feel of a ‘standard’ dashboards significantly

Click on the screenshot to view – and use! – the data visualisation fullscreen.

Map Layers in Tableau – step by step (or layer by layer)

2020-12-30 by Johan de Groot

The Tableau 2020.4 release comes fully-loaded with tons of great features, including several key updates to boost your geospatial analysis. In particular, the new multiple marks layers feature lets you add an unlimited number of layers to the map. This means you can visualize multiple sets of location data in context of one another, and there’s no need for external tools to build custom background maps.

Comments in Tableau

2020-11-16 by Johan de Groot

When you are creating a calculated field in Tableau Desktop, Server of Prep you might want to create some comments to help others see what the purpose of this field is, or explain the calculation that you made. In other situations you might want to test a line of code, and disable a previously written block of code without deleting it.

This is all possible using comments in calculated fields.

502 errors on datasource downloads from Tableau

2020-11-08 by Johan de Groot

If you experience 502 errors when downloading large datasets from Tableau Server – either in a browser or Tableau Desktop – you might occur problems not related to Tableau Server, but a proxy or gateway in front of the server.

Save a Tableau workbook if you can’t save it

2020-10-29 by Johan de Groot

A small tip for a situation that is occurring once in a while to me (probably Mac specific):

If you have been working on a Tableau dashboard for quite a while, you suddenly can’t save the workbook anymore. ‘Save’ results in a popup which disappears very quickly, and ‘Save as’ shows the ‘save as’ dialog for a few milliseconds before disappearing again. Odd behavior – but especially annoying because you really want to save the changes you have made in the last two hours…

The Big Bang Theory meets other shows

Look who’s talking

2016-12-20 by Johan de Groot

Female actors are getting more important in movies. In 2016 we had Jyn as the most important Star Wars character on the Rogue One posters, Harley Quinn was the leader of the Suicide Squad according to the posters and Black WIdow seemed to be one of the most important character in the Marvel universe.

But the space female actors were given on the the posters are definitely not in line with the time they were allowed to speak. Only Dory was able to chat her way throughout the movie.

Look who’s talking

2016-12-20 by Johan de Groot

Vrouwen worden steeds belangrijker in films. In 2016 hadden we Jyn als het belangrijkste karakter op de Star Wars posters, Harley Quin leidde zo’n beetje de Suicide Squad en Black Widow is al weer een paar jaar geleden neergezet als power-vrouw in het Marvel universum.

De ruimte die ingericht wordt op de posters voor vrouwen komt niet bepaald overeen met de tijd dat zij aan het woord zijn. Alleen Dory babbelt zichzelf er doorheen.
