@Daniel_Onchain @juditbekker Always. You know where to find me ✌️

Building a portfolio of your work is something we’ve all done at various points and you might fall back on Tableau Public or lean into a Maven Showcase to host your work. In my latest discussion with @juditbekker about her portfolio, juditbekker.com she highlights the value and advantages of curating and building your own space alongside the small decisions she made along the way. #data #analytics #salesforce #tableau

🚨#B2VB 2024: build a unit chart! Figma + Cloudinary + a tutorial from @TableauTim to make some animated magic in this dashboard 🪄. Feedback welcome, #datafam. Also I need to drink more water 😅. CC: @ReadySetData @datavizfairy @ItsElisaDavis 🔗: public.tableau.com/views/B2VB2024…

I had the chance to talk to @MerlijnBuit here (youtu.be/Kfcb_sBKWFA?si…) about Supertables by @appsfortableau , previously a dashboard extension and now a native chart in Tableau. It brings beautiful tables to Tableau with the modern abilities you get in a range of spreadsheet tools today, alongside the ability to write back and even have AI help with your analysis. We also spent some time talking about Merlijn's journey with @tableau and the opportunities ahead with the platform opening up. #tableau #salesforce #analytics

I had the opportunity to chat to @ladataviz earlier this week about the work @latinaviz and him are doing at Ladataviz to enable a richer ecosystem of creative data story telling and with 24.2 new native chart in Tableau. This is the first of three videos from our 2 hour conversation >> youtu.be/Z0JtvH_WMmw #tableau #data #salesforce #analytics

No less than 10 Viz Extensions available at launch! @tableau 2024.2 is right around the corner, and we have been working hard with @latinaviz to give you the best-advanced charts directly in Tableau. Here's all you need to know before launch: newsletter.ladataviz.com/p/viz-extensio…

@chadskelton @MSPowerBI @tableau @VizWizBI @FlerlageKev @flerlagekr @DataRevelations @DataPlusScience What would you say market share a signal for? If The best in class in any the industry or the most loved isn’t always the market share king. I have a video about why comparisons are getting quite tired working title is “use what you have to or use what you love” but first 24.2 😂

Does @MSPowerBI now have more market share than @tableau? Curious what people think. Anecdotally, it sure seems like it, but maybe that's just in my little world (universities). I'm still a Tableau fan and teach it in my classes. But wondering if at some point I'll have to switch

Accessibility is a topic that I'm sure we all come across. Still, recently I dug into it a little more and found that as my understanding of the area developed, I realised that my perspective on it had been narrow, and I needed to go on a journey to evolve it a little more. Last year, I reached out to @RonEisenstein a community member who has spent considerably more time thinking about this than I have and invited him to spend an hour talking about his journey and how it's impacted his work. youtu.be/NxZAsMmlRQ8 This will be the first of many perspectives on this topic I'll share on my channel, but I couldn't think of anyone better to start the conversation with—link in comments. #tableau #salesforce #data

@RobertJanezic 🍿

When you do anything that isn't free in the Tableau community 😂

Back on the mic after a while to debrief on Tableau Conference. We covered the sessions, some high level themes around features and the product direction as well as the "repulsion" we sometimes see targeted at the Salesforce brand.

@AdrianZinovei I never left 😎

@TableauTim You're back!!! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing with us!

24.2 is around the corner (link in comments). Multi-fact analysis will be one of those features that changes the scope, capability and breadth of questions you can now answer using a single data source in Tableau. I even had to clear my throat before this monologue; that's how serious I think this feature is 🤣 #analytics #tableau #salesforce

It’s allows you to save in the twb twbx format. It’s not going to get around the restriction of workbooks connected to databases or workbooks using data sources connected to server or cloud. That’s not changing. It’s free to try and test the boundaries. I’ve got the word out over to you to test if it can help you.

@TableauTim This is excellent news in general I think, but I have a worry about it, for me, being terrible news long-term, depending on the answer to a quick question, if you know: Does it allow only saving as twb, or also as twbx? Does it allow opening of other users' twbs or twbxs?

Tableau Desktop but free - ish. (youtu.be/0sW-CnZ-ALM ) Yep Tableau Public Desktop Edition is live now in 24.1.2 and it lets you save locally on your laptop no restrictions on how or where... No I need to spell this out, you can : 1) Work offline. 2) Use public or private data. 3) You can use it to try out Tableau at work with any local file types (excel, csv, spatial, statistical) export you got sent. 4) You get autosave so no lost work. 5) No more publishing 100 times before sharing to the world. 6) All the power of Tableau desktop with only restrictions being on cloud / server and database connections. 7) We finally have something to shut down that PowerBi Desktop Edition discussion 😎 #data24 #tableau #analytics
