@EASPORTS what should we do with a newly purchased valid game code that failed on install and now can’t be used again? Very unhappy son.

@calloni @tableau It’s defo not free! I’ve seen quite a few use cases where PBI is 1-1.8x more than Tableau.

when organizations decide to move from @tableau to Power Bi (because it is free)... do they actually put in the math the time and effort people put to become tableau experts? is it worth to pick that knowledge and just trash it? how much does that cost? I say it can cost billions

@Amit_Levinson It’s not just the icon of course, but what this reveals about how PowerBI was built. Behind those icons is different code, with different features and different bugs.

The fact the you have different icons to make a bar or column chart in PowerBI and not, say, just swap the mapping of variables to the opposite axis is 👎 Ugh I miss #ggplot.

@Visual__DJ That looks like Brighton West Pier in the background

Where’s #TC23 #DataFam water bottle now?

@VivBlueprint Just write over it with a proper whiteboard pen and it will come off.

Today I started my morning by writing 15 words my kid is currently learning on a brand new whiteboard. Only after did I realize I had grabbed the wrong pen and done it all in Sharpie. 😱 Hope your day got off to a better start than mine!

@ZachBowders @tableaupublic lol.

One of the HOTTEST trending vizzes on @tableaupublic right now is an image posted by Data Schooler Ben Mangle No data, no viz, just an image in a Tableau workbook Don't know how you did it, but way to hack the planet, Ben!

@vizwithdan Tried to add you on England golf app, are you a member somewhere?

@_tombrown_ Thanks Tom! Not letting anything frustrate me and always taking away the positives, lessons helping too! We’ll have to catch up over a round some time ⛳️ 🍺

Another personal post but I shot my best round ever today! 93 might not be much to some, but it’s a lot to me! Been playing pretty much a year to the day, so happy! 😃 I do post a lot over on my #golf Insta @dannybradleygolf

@acotgreave @Gartner_inc

@VizGenie I can confirm this rumour.

So yeah, maybe we were at karaoke after Data Night Out till 4am … #bestnightever

@LisaHitchLH Great start!

@stuarthelmer Anyone know what it’s like at other third country borders? Is Turkey into Greece seemless for example? That border has obvs been in place much longer do presumably is the steady state we should expect.

I'm no fan of this Brexit - we should never have left the single market - but at some point people are going to have to accommodate themselves to things as they are, not as they would like them to be. And that includes French border staff

@Benioff @MarkBradbourne @ryanaytay @Ajenstat Thanks Marc. Important decision for the tableau community.

@MarkBradbourne @ryanaytay Thanks for letting me know. @Ajenstat is on it with @ryanaytay. Looking forward to showing off at TC what we debuted at Gartner Data & Analytics Summit this week. Thanks for escalating! ❤️📈

@Ajenstat @MarkBradbourne @ryanaytay @Benioff Thanks Francois. Good call.

@MarkBradbourne @ryanaytay @Benioff Working on it. Agree it’s a miss and will get added. Somehow fell through the cracks when I reviewed the session list. MakeoverMonday is amazing and fantastic to see it done live.

Delighted to win the #Alteryx EMEA Partner of the Year award recently - real team effort this year with all our European offices having strong relationships with Alteryx. Thanks for your support Barb Huelskamp @pshansen2 Mark Anderson @stevebridge1 and…lnkd.in/eZxQ2Gb9

Heading to NYC to meet The Data School New York for a couple of days before heading to California for Alteryx sales kick off - living the dream! And I get to fly on my birthday so it's 29 hours long!
