I just started exploring Tableau literally just 2 days ago. Planning to start some career in the data analytics field. Thank you for making videos like these i like how you explain everything. Keep it up! :)
Hello Kazuhiko, Thank you so much for leaving this note and your feedback. Tableau is a great tool that I use almost daily in work, and I love working with it. I wish you all the best in this data journey - I am sure you will find it both exciting and fulfilling working in this space! All the best, Donabel
This video shows you in quick, clear steps how to create some of the most common charts in Tableau. Check out the timecodes in the description to see the individual chart list.
I came here to work on a project, but I ended up spending over an hour with this content. As I practiced, I realized I was learning everything from scratch with a deeper conceptual understanding. The more I explore your contents, the more intriguing I find it. This is one of the best and most important conceptual resources for Tableau beginners. Kudos to you!
As a Tableau beginner, this video really helps me to see the big picture on using this data-viz tool. I especially love the "quick recipe card". Thank you so much for the crystal clear explanation!
Thank you so much!!!👍 What an informative tutorial! ☄Requests: 1. Can you please emphasize the usefulness of "Reference Lines" in vizzes? 2. How to design a dashboard in the floating mode? 3. How to export vizzes to PowerPoint for presentations? Thanks again!👍
Thank you Mustapha! Will definitely include these points in additional videos, but in general: 1. Reference lines provide baseline and context, so they can be helpful in understanding the numbers in your graphs 2. Happy to go over some dashboard tutorials with floating components 3. File > Export as PowerPoint - but some words of caution. Have to be careful and need to evaluate what you are losing when you do this. Always going to be a tradeoff. Thank you for watching and for your comments!
I love Bubble Charts - those people are crazy ha! Although, what I call Bubble Charts are actually 3D Scatter Plots. At work, we visualize this with sales as the size of the bubble. What you show as Bubble Charts would be useful if you wanted to see something such as impact of expenses on total expenses.
I find it's very effective with engaging some types of audiences. A bubble chart can catch people's attention, and once they're interested, we can show more ... traditional charts :)
General public as well :) case in point: Hans Rosling's TED Talk on "The best stats you've ever seen" (www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen)
Could you please add more Charts related videos? when do we choose different charts such as scatter plots, histograms and so on? How do we make a decision to choose a right chart for that scenario.? Please add more videos.
Video Suggestion: A quick guide on how you format charts and dashboards before sending it to clients or a boss. From what I've gathered Tableau is the best at telling stories very quickly. But the formating options are clunky, it's probably because I don't understand them well enough.
Thank you Daniel, will do. But you are right, Tableau is great for visualizing, exploring and really interactive dashboards. There will be challenges if you will be sharing Tableau in a different format (for example, if in PDF or PowerPoint). It is really best consumed as an interactive display (either on Tableau Reader or Tableau Online or Server), but will be happy to put together some tips and tricks on sharing Tableau dashboards in different formats. Thank you again for your comment :) much appreciated!
@@sqlbelle I think that's also very important. My apologies though because I don't think I said it well enough. I'm talking about making your final product (Dashboards and Charts) look good and easy to navigate. I know that the most important part is the data and what you're trying to say. I can't help but want to make it look a little cleaner than the default settings. Do you have any design tips to make them look a little more client-facing? Hope that makes more sense. And Thank you!
@@Hooleey Thank you and appreciate all the responses and clarifications :) Yes, I will plan to have some dashboard videos and incorporate some tips and tricks to polish the dashboards. I'll probably dedicate a few videos for this series. Some tips though right off the bat (which I will mention in the videos as well): - getting the client's colors for branding (possibly creating a palette specifically for your client) - cleaning up gridlines, unwanted tooltips (ie turning them off for certain sections) - adding typical components (like logo, data source, date last updated etc) - Sometimes, adding some text instructions can help (depending on how familiar your client is with Tableau) Thanks again for this suggestion! Will definitely plan to have this video :)
Your video is extremely useful for beginners like me. I have a question, apart from tableau what other skills do I require to start my career in data analysis? Just briefly if you can state some skill that would be extremely helpful. Thank you 🙏☺️
this is great and so helpful, thank you! Are you able to share the chart quick recipes so I can access them as I create in Tableau? I'd be willing to pay for them if needed. Thanks!
Awesome quick way of creating word cloud using Tableau. I was thinking along the lines of Twitter, if I extract twitter tweets and load it into tableau to create a word cloud to show most common words, but does Tableau support unstructured data (text) or does the data have to be structured in rows and column format ? Thanks!
Hello Nishi - thank you for your comment. You will still need to prepare the data, using tools like Tableau Prep, Excel Power Query, or scripting language like Python to split up the words so we can visualize and analyze in Tableau.
Thank you Vishesh for the suggestion, will definitely keep that in mind when I do an additional parameters action video! Please do check out the parameters video as I introduce parameters action there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Uar_D57QhU.html
Hello Natalia! Thank you for your note. I don't have all the charts yet, but this playlist has visual best practices on some charts: ru-vid.com/group/PLkZ_g9Y7eszJPSIjEr3MuqlJlYQB5HcPh Hope this helps! Donabel
That was really helpful. My question is how can I pass the value from a click on a map to the rest of the plots (i. e. Click on Ohio in a map of the US) ?
Thank you David. You can use a filter dashboard action to do that. You can select which field values you want to pass (if you don't want the default). Here is a reference: help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/actions_filter.htm#understanding-available-target-fields
I've tried to do a word cloud, however it instead displays as a tree map. I'm using the sample superstore dataset and I've used the blue pill dimension "product name" for text, as well as the green pill "Quantity" for size. I've attempted substituting "Quantity" for "Profit" as well as "Sales" but neither provide a word cloud - they all display as a tree map. Any ideas on why this could be?
@@ishitagarg605 Much appreciated on the reply! When you say try selecting text instead of automatic, is this in a specific drop-down box, or perhaps a ribbon menu option? Thank you again!
Thank you Ravinder, I do have some videos that include JOINs ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dC10teRrv-k.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4k5ODpvDZrY.html
