Last week, we released a web data connector (WDC) to the Star Wars API. Judging from your Twitter conversations, we can tell there’s a lot of Star Wars excitement in the Tableau community! Today, we’d like to congratulate the fans (ourselves included) for enduring the long wait for Episode VII. We’re excited to share ten awesome visualizations about Star Wars, including many that you created with the WDC in just the past week.

Do you know an exceptional Tableau user who helps others via social media? Nominate the person to be a Tableau Ambassador! Earlier this year, we launched our Tableau Ambassador program, which recognizes community members who go above and beyond the call of duty to help other Tableau users. The program began with a single branch, the Tableau Ambassadors for the Community Forums. We soon added two more branches: the Tableau Ambassadors for User Groups and the Tableau Ambassadors for Social Media. The Ambassador program now encompasses three different—but deeply-connected—areas of the Tableau community: the community forums, the user groups, and social media.

With mobile devices now ubiquitous, more and more companies are looking to leverage the power of mobile analytics. Whether you’re at an offsite meeting, on a plane, or even in your pajamas at home, being just a few taps and swipes away from your data has tremendous value. But due to their small screen size and touch interface, phones pose a unique challenge as an analytics distribution platform. That’s why it’s critical to pinpoint your analytical focus when designing your smartphone dashboard. You’ll want to include only the metrics that truly matter to your audience.

We're excited to announce a direct connector to Google Cloud SQL. This optimized connection will allow anyone using Tableau to take advantage of this fast and affordable MySQL database.

Here at Tableau, we might be getting a little too excited about next week’s Star Wars release. But who can blame us? Star Wars basically has the perfect combination of brainy geekiness and excellent storytelling that we love here at Tableau.

What makes a good data analyst? This is a question I get regularly asked as I help people explore ways to see and understand their ever-growing volume of data. Analytical skills, communication skills, math, and attention to detail are usually thrown around as the essential skills required to be a good data analyst. For me, the answer is much simpler.

Want more of your colleagues to dive into data? Introduce them to the data-informed way of life with an elegant dashboard about key metrics. A high-level dashboard that keeps the company updated at all levels and also drills down in seconds can help people evolve from passive consumers of data to self-service can-doers.

Ring, ring! What’s that? It’s your data…on your iPhone. We’re thrilled to announce the release of Tableau 9.2, which includes the long-awaited iPhone app for Tableau Mobile. But the iPhone app is just one of the new features in Tableau 9.2, many of which have been influenced by our customer community. We loved watching your reactions to the new features as they were announced at Tableau Conference, the community event of the year.

Alimente su curiosidad por los datos con Tableau 9.2. Ahora, puede explorar sus visualizaciones favoritas desde cualquier lugar con nuestra nueva aplicación para iPhone. Pruebe también las mejoras adicionales de Tableau Mobile, que incluyen la geolocalización y las búsquedas mejoradas para iOS.

Today, we are excited to take another step in the cloud by extending our integration with Microsoft’s cloud platform with support for Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines. This is an important part of the broad integration that Tableau offers with Microsoft technologies.
