All Stories

The release of Tableau 10 was the most community-driven release in Tableau history. From the Tableau 10 Virtual User Group to the Tableau Torch Relay, to Tableau 10 Live, you, our amazing community, have been with us every step of the way. When Tableau 10 launched, we asked you to share the stories of your own Tableau journey. Here are some of your stories and #Tableau10 moments as curated by Tableau Social Media Ambassadors.

The Tableau Torch Relay has come to a close, and man, what a journey it was! From Seattle to New York and across the Atlantic, the torch made 10 stops in all, and ended its journey with a wrap party in London. And three of the torchbearers were there to celebrate with the London Tableau community.

Throughout this series, we've been exploring admission rates at the University of California in Berkeley. In 1973, the overall graduate-school admission rates for men and women appeared to be biased toward men. But when looked at in more detail, the trend shifted the other direction. In four of the six largest departments, there were proportionately more women admitted than men.

Now that you know what a Marimekko chart is and when it’s most useful, it’s now time to learn how to build it in Tableau.

A Marimekko chart is a two-dimensional stacked chart of stacked, contiguous bars—looking somewhat like a Marimekko fabric. Marimekko charts combine visual pop with information—the eye captures two levels of information as it admires the colorful pattern the chart creates.

We’ve decided it’s time to broaden our leadership team. I’m thrilled to share Adam Selipsky will join Tableau as our new CEO. Adam has spent more than a decade building Amazon Web Services from its inception. He’s been part of the leadership team that established AWS as the indisputable market leader in cloud platforms. Adam will start his new role on September 16, and we’re excited to further our mission under his leadership.

One great new feature in Tableau 10 is clustering. What was once only available to people who could use complex statistical tools can now be done with a drag and a drop. I know my mean from my mode and what a normal distribution looks like, but like many of our customers, I’m no statistical expert. I wanted to answer a simple question: What exactly is clustering and why would you use it?

Earlier this week, Tableau released the much-anticipated Tableau 10. The team here at AtScale, being both big-data geeks and data-visualization nerds, has been eager to see how some of the great new features work with our business interface for Hadoop. We’ve been thrilled so far, and thought it would be nice to share some of the features we are most excited about.
