Unfortunately we just made the move to Tableau Cloud with the understanding that all of these things were coming. We are a public sector organization and we simply don’t have the budget to just keeping adding more and more to get new features. Salesforce was the worst thing that happened to Tableau. It is not an exaggeration to say this will end an eight year relationship with Tableau. They are going to lose a site with 750 users. Need to start learning PowerBI
This is extremely helpful because container management is often overlooked in favor of other functionalities. I was designing a dashboard using DZV with vertical containers and each containing grouped horizontal containers. I've been struggling with this for a while simply because I didn't know some basic things. Thank you for your video; it has been very helpful in understanding how they work.
Hi Tim so when we create a metric using pulse for example for sales, It has an insights of "expected range". I was curious on what basis is pulse calculating this. A brief explanation would be helpful thanks.
@@TableauTim okay I created a metric for sales and sparkling was at non- cumulative and it was giving me an Expected range I got was -2.2k to 6.6k but how can sales be negative at any point?
@@kartikchhabra2098 Likely your metric isn't aggregating correctly. That would only happen if a negative value is possible also be sure your reading the chart correctly -2k on a pulse metric means down 2k compared to the previous number. if your basing it on the previous month or previous year so check the context of your metric carefully. Pulse doesn't make mistakes like this its going to be user error or misunderstanding of the chart.
@@TableauTim I made it using sample superstore i validated the values and everything only thing I couldn't get was why is the expected range coming out to be negative and on what basis is it calculation that Expected range. If you could help it'd be great. Thankyou for your responses so far
@@TableauTim well a range for sales can't get to -2k if it's showing the lower bound it should be zero it can't get further down. It's was on MTD by default. Sales can be in between a range starting from zero so how is it showing a negative value.
This method looks great, but I have a situation where my company uses a SAML connection with Tableau Cloud. My input is a Tableau Hyper file on the cloud, and the output needs to be saved back to Tableau Cloud. Does this method still work?
I have been struggling to understand how to arrange my charts and how the containers work. Your video was extremely helpful in clarifying these concepts. Thank you very much for this great resource 👏👏
The vizs seem amazing and something I'd want to include in my work as an analyst. However, my company has privacy concerns and we're not even allowed to use network enabled extensions. Does this work in the same way or does it have additional privacy features? Thanks in advance!
As I write this in July 24 , Tableau haven’t enabled sandboxed extensions for viz extensions developers. It’s possible but for some reason it’s not in this release. Also you can approach developers and ask them to host the extension in your own organisations network so no data leaves the org. Many s
This isn’t the video for that. I had a 2 minute deadline. I have many much slower videos on this topic for example My tableau crash course. Check than one out.
I am having trouble/confusion with refreshing a tableau prep datasource. I can't seem to find a way to do it without re-publishing the flow/extract every time. Can I schedule refreshes. Can I schedule partial refreshes, and does that work with salesforce connections? if you answer these I will for sure subscribe. lol :) thanks
Not clear what the issue is and why those steps resolve it. I have videos on all those. You can’t martial refresh a data source in prep it always outputs a brand new result from the entire flow.
Whenever I talk to the Support team for Tableau Cloud (and I do that A LOT!) they tell me that Desktop is the ‘gold standard’ tool and that Web has yet to catch up. If there’s a bug, Desktop always take prescedence. Hence, I’m surprised that this has gone to Web first. There are still too many things that I can’t do in Web which keep me in Desktop (edit calculations, set default aggregations etc., etc.)
Tableau's community is one of the many reasons I love it so much, and this is a great way Tableau is doubling down on enhancing their community. I love it.
KPIs are definitely coming :) We already have a tool for that, BANg, that generates KPI in Tableau automatically, but we will convert it to Viz Extensions for sure.
For me, it will obviously boil down to the markup. We pay the additional % for the data management add on already so it's understanding that additional % markup to have access to the AI features. My gut feel is it that it'll be a sizable. I can't see customers running to this at scale without understanding the return and value these new AI features will provide. Pulse is a good starting point but is still being refined and at launch was pretty buggy so we fall into that 'still testing it before going live' customer. I could see there being a need to have a carrot to tempt us into purchasing. Free trial of Tableau+ for existing customers etc to help you decide otherwise I don't see this being adopted at scale.
Hi Tim, I was trying to create a float parameter. Though the parameter is getting created but when I am using this parameter as a filter by creating a calculated filed ( Parameter Name= Field Name), putting this calculation in filter and setting it as true, It is not at all working, where as if I am doing the same for a string it is working as expected. Can you please help me out here. TIA
You’ve answered the question. Instead of putting it in filter put it on columns and rows. See what the outcome is. The precision on float is probably the issue. Can you use whole numbers / integers.
From what it looks like, Hyperforce runs on these pods which are essentially AWS regions. If you look at Esther's demo, the location is in a AWS region for the cloud manager. The people that work on these products can correct me if I am wrong.
Yeah I was t sure if hyperforce is proprietary to Salesforce or if it’s just as you describe. I’m wondering no if there’s anything smart going on between the pods.
Using gpt4o, I pulled sales figures from meeting notes into a csv file, then created a chart in minutes. It ran Python code internally to do this. This is another nail in the coffin.
If you 'force' use to use web-edit and not Tableau Destkop then bring all options and features there as well! It is crazy that we will need to go to Desktop to have more formatting options, but then some options are only on web-edit.
I've been using Tableau for 13 years, recommended and implemented across two separate government organisations with over 100 users as their core BI tool, been active in the local user groups and community, in both public and private sector but recently have been quite disappointed by the lack of meaningful features, falling behind most competitors in visualisation capabilities and the pricing models, especially for government agencies compared to Microsoft. PowerBI still has some time to catch up but getting closer, and some features like real time data refresh already ahead of Tableau. I think at this rate I'll have a difficult time selling the idea in the exec to continue and end up migrating 200 plus dashboards to PowerBI.
I stopped getting excited about new server features mentioned at TC after data and advanced management were introduced as it was never clear what feature was coming to the core and what you were going to have to buy in with an ad on. On the one hand, I like that you pay for what you want and are going to use rather than add to the core product, charge me more for things I will never use. But there are a number of features that slipped into the data and advanced server management add-ons that really should belong in an enterprise product by default, and that's what started the bitter taste.
Is the reference to CoPilot in Prep because its built essentially for the browser but just given a Desktop skin over the top? So i wonder whether that might actually be correct?
Agree 100% ~ Bitter taste indeed - even a comment to say pricing to be finalised. They definitely sold the impression at conference that co-pilot was included. Many are getting tired of this old way of upselling - they don’t want sales people - they just want good clean transparency.
Spot on. Great video. I'm not interested in any of the add-ons bundled with 'Tableau+' and I'm still disappointed. It feels like something my cable company would do, and that's not a great look. On the plus side, pun intended, the logo for it looks cool.
This is terrible news at a terrible time. I've been fighting to keep a Tableau presence at work, we're currently going through negotiations for renewal, and now this comes out. I was so excited after conference, and now I'm not sure what will happen. This might be the final nail in the coffin of us using Tableau.
In your situation, what could Salesforce do to help not just keep tableau going but to help grow its usage. Is the hard thing justifying the new features or is it just the bottom line price? Asking for a friend :)
@@TableauTim Our company is moving to Microsoft D365 as an ERP. With that they've brought on board Fabric. I've been trying to make the case that Tableau has value along side Power BI. We were able to convince our leadership just yesterday that we needed Tableau, at least until D365 was fully implemented. I now have 2 years to make my case for after that. What I need from Tableau/Salesforce is information about what makes them needed along side Power BI (what ROI does it bring). --PS, Thank you for all your videos! I have learned so much from you, and have recommended your channel to everyone I have trained.
We need the data magemwnt component only and have been told after mid-september 2024 it will only be available in tabeau plus. The camel's back is starting to approach the breaking point for us. Getting way too expensive to run tablrau since SF took it over.
