Have I invented a new chart type? Map Layers in Tableau open up endless possibilities.

Here's an L-shaped bar chart I built for #MakeoverMonday week 52.

460,000 data points. One chart. Here's how I did it. ✔️

1. Sample the data strategically
2. Build a variety of chart types
3. Iterate on promising designs
4. Select the best approach
5. Import full dataset
6. Polish and publish

The beauty?
This process works for any dataset size.

Inspired by Nicholas Lea-Trengrouse's custom calendar visual in PBI, I've rebuilt it in Tableau.

No extensions required. I think you'll love the trick I did with the title so that you can't click on it.

You data is gold. Yet, you aren't investing in both Tableau 𝗔𝗡𝗗 Power BI to unlock its value.

Getting value from your data comes at a cost.
But not investing costs you even more.

Together, they can transform how you understand and act on your data.

What’s the price of missed insights?

I've cracked the code to perfect waffle charts.
No more complex calculations or misaligned elements.

I absolutely love this!

- Easy to understand
- Beautiful use of color
- Ideal use of whitespace
- Every pixel has a purpose
- Can be used as a template for your data
- Includes all of the context you could need

What do you like?

"Your dates comparison are wrong."
That's what your boss says after you present your sales analysis.

Learn how to align:

• Latest N days
• Previous N days
• Same N days prior year

It's not very straightforward in Tableau.

Practing mobile design forces you to make simple charts. Here's what makes this work.

• Small multiples for space
• BANs to summarize the data
• Large fonts to ensure readability
• Colored sections for each metric
• Line charts to show trends over time

What do you like? What could be better?

Tableau or Power BI?
There's your first mistake.

It's not "or".
It's "and".

Stop thinking you have to pick one or the other.

Use both.

Tableau is great for analysis.
Power BI is great for reporting.

Tableau and Power BI are two sides of one coin.

Why not use both?

Businesses need simple, effective, easy to understand KPI dashboards. They need to be...

- Beautifully designed
- Easy to understand
- Actionable
- Flexible
