I'm back from a hugely enjoyable OptaPro Forum last week and buzzing with new ideas. It was a fantastic day with some great presentations and it was brilliant to finally put faces to a few analysts' names (and Twitter handles! Want to know a secret? With X,Y pitch coordinate data. First things first, we're g...

Econometrics, marketing and data visualisation. Effective data visualisation for marketers. EU Cookie Law Compliance Statement. Monday, 3 October 2011. Dashboard software - why we chose what we chose. Some time ago, I wrote a post. Apart from a review of Excel Services. Summary: it's sort of ok, but you can do much better for the money), the series didn't get very far. Due to the overwhelming volume of emails. Ladies and gentlemen, in the blue corner etc. There are other 'free' platforms, including custo...

Wallpapering Fog: Why VBA macros got everywhere
http://www.wallpaperingfog.co.uk/2012/02/why-vba-macros-got-everywhere.html
Econometrics, marketing and data visualisation. Effective data visualisation for marketers. EU Cookie Law Compliance Statement. Monday, 27 February 2012. Why VBA macros got everywhere. Last week, I wrote a post. That suggested Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) could be declining in importance for today's analysts. I do think that it is and that it will continue to do so, because it's not evolving to meet the needs of bigger data, or to compete with new and better ways of building dashboards. You could ...

No more free GMail, other Google tools, or Microsoft Windows. and see how much I miss them. Is 'free' worth the price? This post is part one - dumping Windows for Linux on an old laptop.

Econometrics, marketing and data visualisation. Effective data visualisation for marketers. EU Cookie Law Compliance Statement. Tuesday, 2 June 2015. We need to talk about Excel. I'm not sure when it happened. I've got a feeling that the writing's been on the wall since the introduction of the 'Ribbon' menu. I was the guy who could make Excel dance. Shortcuts flying, interactive dashboards, external data connections and VBA. I loved Excel. Modern Excel is a mess. It's nearly thirty years old. And the ban...

Econometrics, marketing and data visualisation. Effective data visualisation for marketers. EU Cookie Law Compliance Statement. Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Losing touch. or why Excel and VBA won't cut it any more. Up until fairly recently, if an aspiring analyst asked what they should do to get ahead at work, I'd say get good in Excel. Really good. And learn VBA. The first bit's still true, but VBA? There's also a problem for the next generation in that they need to get luckier with where they start work ...
