doofusdan: January 2015
http://www.doofusdan.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2015. Doofusdan.com is mine at last. Feels like I've been waiting for it to became available for 20 years - somebody had been squatting on it for ages and as far as I know, never used it. At last, they let the registration lapse and now it's mine! I just noticed I haven't posted anything here in over a year - though I did post a few things over on MassivelyUseful. Mostly it's because I've been quite busy, and having a great time, at my new gig at Tableau. Posted by Dan Becker.

Tableau Forums Digest #7. Zen Master [to be? Anytime a Zen Master calls your solution ‘brilliant’ you go to the head of the class, (and this digest). Catherine Rivier worked out a clever way to combine an area chart with a line chart. That shows (or not) multiple marks on multiple axes using a pseudo-dual set of Measure Values/Names. And she explains it better than I just did. [Tableau I’m assuming Tableau Zen Masters aren’t an all-boys club by design? Good to hear.]. Jonathan Drummey posted of interest&...

Tableau Forums Digest #10. Thought I’d start with this week’s unanswered question: How to do a COUNTD() of a rolling window. Edited per Alex’s comment below.] Joshua, Jonathan and Alex all put in a bit of time on this one, so there are ideas to build on, but nobody has gotten there yet. Want to give it a try? If you’re struggling with table calculations, Alex gives an in-depth explanation of partitioning. Blog on partitioning by table calculations. Ranking Ties With Suffix.

Tableau Forums Digest #6. Northern Lights Over the Cabins, photo by Frank Wood. Hope all is well and peaceful in your world. This week’s forums seemed full of map and date questions. So I’ve organized this digest differently. [Let me know what your think.]. One of my favorite topics. Alex Kerin worked out. Ayush Baheti was struggling. A question about mapping routes with origin and destination points in one row/record. Both Alex and Richard provided good workable explanations. To get access to the zoom l...

Tableau Forums Digest #8. I’m sure we all enjoy watching a master at work; that’s why we go to the theater, attend concerts, and even watch sports. This week the Tableau community was treated to a command performance by Alex Kerin it was a joy to watch! The depth and breadth of his Tableau mastery was on full display, ranging from table calculations to handle dates. To Haseeb Iqbal’s question about Tableau’s support for the Hijri calendar. And null date behavior. But his posts showing how to fill-in data.

Newer posts →. Tableau Forums Digest #5. Hard to get going on this week’s FDW after Friday’s tragedy. It seems so unimportant. But I can’t sit around forever alternately horrified, angry and depressed. So in search of some ‘normalcy’, here’s this week’s FDW. Or a question with multiple possibilities.

Tableau Forums Digest #9. American) football took up way too much of my time this weekend, so this week’s Digest is less commentary, and more of the good stuff: people and links. [One note, I’m going to start using some abbreviations after names to help newcomers identify who’s who on the forums. TE=Tableau Employee, TP=Tableau Partner, ZM=Zen Master.]. Before hitting the road Alex Kerin answered a question on bucketing data dynamically. And one using an advanced table calculation. To set a sort order.
