This month, I was lucky enough to attend the Tableau fanalytics workshop atTC14 and man was it awesome!

The workshop started out with a few words from our MC and Tableau Public Sr. Product Manager Ben Jones who gave us a quick “intro to tableau public” talk and laid out the concept of fanalytics for us. Following Ben’s intro, we were treated to a series of presentations from Tableau Author all-stars; Troy Heerwagen, Kyle Biehle and Carl Allchin, all of whom are data vizzing machines in their own right. These guys are using transportation data, pop culture data, basketball data and a bunch of other hobby based data to create some of the most front page-worthy visualizations around.

Once the presentations wrapped up, we got down and dirty with some data in a group viz building exercise.

The Data Set: Number One Albums from the UK Billboard Charts

The Challenge: Create a viz that showed which albums reached number one and how long they were there.

The Caveat: We only had 15min.

Once finished, groups tweeted out links to their visualizations (using#data14Fanalytics) and as each viz was pulled up on the big screen, an ambassador from the corresponding group came forward to give us a quick rundown of their viz. There were some really amazing finished products and it was inspiring to see what some people were able to do in such a short period of time.

At the end of the day, my group was none too pleased with our final viz and agreed to take the data home, give it another shot and share our re-worked vizzes. I finally had some time to sit down and give it another shot. It took a little (lot) longer than fifteen minutes, but I am pretty happy with what I produced. Poke around, see what you can learn and re-blog with your findings!

Anametrix for Tableau: New Solution Center Stage at Conference

It’s official. The world of data got its just due in Seattle this week. Mayor Ed Murray declared Tuesday, September 9, Data Day, as the Tableau Conference 2014 rolled into high gear in this city on the shores of Puget Sound. Anametrix went live on the show floor as a conference sponsor, débuting the new Anametrix for Tableau solution. Why the buzz? The solution is the first to combine marketing analytics with the groundbreaking Tableau visualization technology. That’s big news not just to the 750+ marketing execs and team members attending the conference, but also the data scientists, analysts and other members of technical teams responsible for managing internal systems and the data they generate. It’s the key to unifying the mountains of marketing data generated outside the firewall with the big internal systems under IT care via a common user interface. Read More

Is Tableau a Canvas for Innovation? #data14

Unleash creativity and the world will never be the same.

The words could belong to Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Pablo Picasso — but they were coined by the CEO of Tableau, a fast growing software company. It trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol DATA.

Addressing a sold out audience at Tableau’s user conference being held in Seattle this week, Chabot proclaimed that the next wave of computing will be less about automating the routine and more about discovering and leveraging “the tremendous creative potential of our minds.”
