Tableau User Group 2023Q1: The  Learning Path of Tableau

2023-03-01 by Johan de Groot

On the 27th of February the Tableau User Group Netherlands organized – together with the Data + Women Netherlands Tableau User Group – the first meeting of 2023. It was a very nice meetup with a perfect reception from Randstad, and two interesting talks:

  • The  Learning Path of Tableau (Randstad)
    Liezl Brouckaert & Alina Cristea
    Providing your Tableau creators with a clear personal development pathway to becoming Tableau experts is crucial. Making sure the content gives them the skills they need to unlock the value from the data is vital. But … how do you make sure the program lands well? How do you ensure employees remain engaged and complete the levels?
  • Tableau: New features in 2023 from Tableau 
    Rick Meijvogel
    Showcasing all the new and hot features in the new release also inspired by the Tableau community. 

Watch the Tableau User Group session from the 27th of February:

Better datefilters in Tableau

2023-01-22 by Johan de Groot

Datefilters are one of the most common filters on any dashboard. They are needed to see trends, make decisions on the right period, and analyse within the right context. But most of the times these filters are not optimal – so let’s make them better (and prettier)

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.

Write your own Tableau Extension for your current dashboard

2022-07-05 by Johan de Groot

Tableau Extensions are a way to extend the functionality of a dashboard to your own specific needs. Most people using extensions simply grab one of the many offered via the Tableau Exchange (free or paid).

In this post I would like to encourage you to think about another option: creating your own extension!

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.

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.
