Tableau 9.3 includes a new, delightful flow for publishing your data sources. We’ve added a number of features and tied them together so that everything you need is at your fingertips.

The Academy Awards are quickly approaching, and fans, myself included, are anxiously waiting to see who takes home an Oscar.

I often spend hours—days, sometimes—formatting a dashboard to death. The end result is mostly something I am proud of, but when I look back at some of the hoops I have jumped through, I question whether they were worth it. If something took two hours to implement and only made a tiny improvement to my dashboard, was it worth it?

We’re planning to change our support for older versions of Internet Explorer later this year when we release Tableau 10.0. Microsoft has ended support for versions of IE older than 11. When we release Tableau 10.0 later this year, we will also no longer support versions 8, 9, and 10 of Internet Explorer. That means you won’t be able to connect to Tableau Server 10.0 or Tableau Online using one of these older versions of IE.

They’re your superheroes when you have viz problems. They’re the ones you call when you’ve got a data connection question. They’re your Tableau support team, and now you can reach them on Twitter.

Tableau has supported passing initial SQL for some time, but only for a handful of data sources. And it was missing a critical piece of the pie; you could not dynamically pass parameters like username. With Tableau 9.3, we have added the first round of data sources that support not only initial SQL but also the ability to pass parameters to the database that are evaluated at runtime.
