Do you ever get asked to build text tables for stakeholders? Do you feel like you could be driving more value than providing boring black and white text in rows and columns? 🫠

Well, we ran a webinar all about text tables and how to take them to the next level. In this webinar, we'll talk you through 12 tips for beginners to advanced Tableau users.

FIXED LODs are wonderful because they allow us to aggregate our measures at a chosen Dimension level, regardless of the level of detail of the worksheet. However, they aren't affected by Dimension Filters, because they're calculated before Dimension Filters are processed.

There are various scenarios where we need to work around that. We'll use Context Filters to help us where we need our LODs to be filtered, and we'll take a look at an example where you might not want your LOD to be filtered by your Dimension Filters.

Do you need to build a dashboard in Tableau Cloud but you don't know where to start? We've got you covered!

In this video, we cover connecting to data, building data visualizations, filtering, number formatting, worksheet formatting, Table Calculations, compiling a dashboard and publishing your work.

Want to learn how to set up alerts on Tableau Cloud/Server so that you can track certain metrics in the dashboards or sheets you're following? All you need is a dashboard published to Tableau Cloud and a measure-based axis.

In this tutorial, we run through how to set up and customize data-driven alerts in Tableau. Data-driven alerts can be scheduled to run at the cadence of your choosing, so it's important to choose your timeframe wisely!

When you union tables in Tableau, you append two tables of data vertically. That means if you have two tables that are 1,000 rows each, the result of the union will be a single table that is 2,000 rows. Shared columns will align automatically, and unique columns will not.

Unions provide the ability to relate multiple tables that contain different data types of structures without worrying about granularity. Many times, fact tables that primarily consist of measures cannot be joined together because the join would lead to undesired row duplication.

Tableau's Data Analyst Certification can be a tricky one to prep for.

How will you get tested on Dashboarding? Will you have to build a dashboard? What will the Multiple Choice Questions be like? How much Tableau Prep or Cloud do you need to know?

I wrote the certification a few months back and I wanted to share some of my learnings to help you have the most successful test you can!

Creating custom date filters in Tableau takes some creativity and ingenuity. They can be especially tricky when they are used to control both aggregated and non-aggregated measures. Tableau is particular about how aggregated formulas are written.

If you want to create a custom date filter in Tableau that controls both aggregated and non-aggregated measures but you're struggling to write the formulas without errors, check out this video for some helpful tips!

Do you want to show and hide sheets on your dashboard with only a click? Dynamic Zone Visibility lets you do exactly that. This is far more dynamic than filter actions, as we can show or hide any number of sheets and their elements from a single interaction.

There are a few key steps to getting this right, so follow along to see how to implement this into your dashboards too!

One of my favorite and most-often used date filters in Tableau is a range of dates with dynamic start and end dates.

For example, you choose a range of dates (last 7 days, last 14 days, last 30 days, etc.) and then create dynamic start and end date filters that meet that criteria. This is a great way to provide a pre-selected filter range for your users but still give them ultimate control over the exact date range they want to see.
