Ever wondered how to create a perfectly formatted custom axes like this in Tableau? I have a secret that will save you hours of complex calculations.

For my latest #MakeoverMonday viz, I cheated. It’s not a hack. It's a workaround.

The solution? Reference lines.

No complex calculations needed.

Have I invented a new chart type? Map Layers in Tableau open up endless possibilities.

Here's an L-shaped bar chart I built for #MakeoverMonday week 52.

My content strategy for 2024 was simple: write a lot and give tons away (including 129 tutorials and guides).

460,000 data points. One chart. Here's how I did it. ✔️

1. Sample the data strategically
2. Build a variety of chart types
3. Iterate on promising designs
4. Select the best approach
5. Import full dataset
6. Polish and publish

The beauty?
This process works for any dataset size.

Inspired by Nicholas Lea-Trengrouse's custom calendar visual in PBI, I've rebuilt it in Tableau.

No extensions required. I think you'll love the trick I did with the title so that you can't click on it.

You data is gold. Yet, you aren't investing in both Tableau 𝗔𝗡𝗗 Power BI to unlock its value.

Getting value from your data comes at a cost.
But not investing costs you even more.

Together, they can transform how you understand and act on your data.

What’s the price of missed insights?

I've cracked the code to perfect waffle charts.
No more complex calculations or misaligned elements.

The magic? Map layers.

Thye give you total control.
Your labels will always align perfectly.
Your charts will look professional every time.

I'm just now realizing the power of map layers for building charts. It's so much easier to build a perfect waffle chart.

Should I create a tutorial for you to follow along?

This is my viz for #MakeoverMonday week 48.

"Your dates comparison are wrong."
That's what your boss says after you present your sales analysis.

Learn how to align:

• Latest N days
• Previous N days
• Same N days prior year

It's not very straightforward in Tableau.

Practing mobile design forces you to make simple charts. Here's what makes this work.

• Small multiples for space
• BANs to summarize the data
• Large fonts to ensure readability
• Colored sections for each metric
• Line charts to show trends over time

What do you like? What could be better?

Tableau or Power BI?
There's your first mistake.

It's not "or".
It's "and".

Stop thinking you have to pick one or the other.

Use both.

Tableau is great for analysis.
Power BI is great for reporting.

Tableau and Power BI are two sides of one coin.

Why not use both?
