‘Easy Empty Extracts' Dit klinkt haast als een kinderrijmpje. Maar het is eigenlijk een belangrijke Tableau-tip van onze eigen Ryan Stryker, Senior Business Consultant bij Tableau Professional Services. Bedankt, Ryan! Extracten zijn niet moeilijk te verkopen. Bij de lokale materialisatie van de dataweergaven worden de prestaties meestal drastisch verbeterd. En Tableau Server biedt ons een handig platform om alles automatisch te vernieuwen. Bij grote extracten kan het echter behoorlijk tijdrovend zijn om een desktopversie te maken voordat deze op de server wordt gepubliceerd. Begrijpelijkerwijs vragen klanten vaak of er geen manier is om het ‘gewoon door Server te laten doen’. Natuurlijk wel.

Unieke aantallen zijn cruciaal voor analyse, of het nu gaat om het tellen van individuele patiënten in een ziekenhuis, het aantal unieke retailtransacties of het aantal vliegtuigen in een vloot. Het maken van unieke aantallen in Tableau is bijzonder gemakkelijk: met één klik kun je samenvoegingen omzetten in afzonderlijke tellingen. Het is echter ook een van de intensievere berekeningen die veel tijd kan vergen, vooral bij enorme hoeveelheden data. Ik wil graag een paar alternatieve manieren bespreken die hetzelfde resultaat opleveren als een afzonderlijke telling.

Tableau Server has many built in features to promote data exploration, collaboration, and security. The Data Server is arguably the most powerful of these tools but is commonly overlooked and underutilized. Answer these questions to see how the Data Server can save you time and increase productivity. • Are you struggling to manage and update many large extracts while removing duplicates? • Do you want to refresh your extracts once and automatically update your workbooks? • Do you want to provide centralized management of your metadata? The ability to author a calculation once and share it with everyone, creating a standardized definition for each field? • Are you tired of having to deploy database drivers on each users local machines? • Do you want to simplify how your users access data stored in your databases? If you found yourself replying 'yes' to any of these questions, then it’s time to unleash the Data Server.

Header Concatenation: This was a new problem for me. Heck, it was a new word for me up until recently. Janet Shen, one of the incredible Viz Magicians from Tableau Professional Services sent me a great "How To" guide for overriding our default settings and I couldn't wait to share it. The useful content is ALL her. The silliness is all me. Hope you find this as helpful as I did! Click inside to get the step-by-step tutorial.

The release of the JavaScript API as part of Tableau's 8.0 launch has opened up an entire world of possibilities for people wanting to integrate Tableau visualizations within their existing business applications. Since I myself am not an familiar with JavaScript even in the slightest, I decided to sit down with someone from Tableau who is and get their perspective on how big a game changer this API really is. Fortunately for me (unfortunately for him) Michael Kovner, Tableau Product Consultant and JavaScript dabbler, sits close enough for me to harass on a near daily basis.

Today, our friends at Cloudera have formally launched their SQL-on-hadoop offering called "Impala". Did you know that Tableau was one of the first ISVs to support Impala?

Sets have been an evolving part of Tableau Desktop and that remains true in 8.0. Our New Features page offers an excellent overview of the new possibilities available to you using sets in 8.0. With this blog post, I wanted to get a little deeper into two ways that sets can help you make your data more meaningful and useful in dynamic ways: adding sets to hierarchies and using sets in calculations.
