  • Write your own Tableau Extension for your current dashboard

    Write your own Tableau Extension for your current dashboard

    Tableau Extensions are a way to extend the functionality of a dashboard to your own specific needs. Most people using extensions simply grab one of the many offered via the Tableau Exchange (free or paid).

    In this post I would like to encourage you to think about another option: creating your own extension!

  • Top 2000 of Radio 2 – Edition 2021

    It’s that time of year again… – the Visualisation of the Top 2000 of Radio 2!

    One of my traditions is to visualize the Top 2000 as being broadcasting by the Dutch radio station Radio 2 using Tableau.
    This time I choose a circular visualisation of the list, with a detailed/zoomed-in look at the chose title inside the circle. Changing a title can be done via the drop-down, but also by clicking in the circle (either one) or in the list of entries of the artist.

    Top 2000 van Radio 2 – Editie 2021

    Het is weer die tijd van het jaar – de Visualisatie van de Top 2000 van Radio 2…

    De Top 2000 zoals uitgezonden door Radio 2 heb ik voor de 10e keer (geloof ik) op een andere manier gevisualiseerd met behulp van Tableau.
    Dit keer is er gekozen voor een circulaire weergave van de lijst van dit jaar, met een ‘detail’ van het gekozen nummer in de cirkel. Je kunt een nummer kiezen uit het dropdown menu, maar ook klikken in de cirkel of in de lijst met noteringen van de desbetreffende artiest.

  • Top 2000 visualisation – edition 2020

    The Top 2000 edition of 2020 isn’t a fancy data visualisation with extensive data-preparation and/or mathematical formulas like last year, but a visualisation with the emphasis on what you can do with relative simple graphical elements. This approach can change the look and feel of a ‘standard’ dashboards significantly

    Click on the screenshot to view – and use! – the data visualisation fullscreen.

  • Top 2000 visualisatie – editie 2020

    Top 2000 visualisatie – editie 2020

    (In Dutch) Voor de editie van 2020 heb ik dit keer niet gekozen voor een extreem fancy datavisualisatie met uitgebreide data-preparatie en/of ingewikkelde wiskundige formules, maar wat meer nadruk gelegd over hoe je met relatief eenvoudige grafische elementen je een dashboard een compleet ander uiterlijk kunt geven dan een ‘standaard’ dashboard.

  • Map Layers in Tableau – step by step (or layer by layer)

    Map Layers in Tableau – step by step (or layer by layer)

    The Tableau 2020.4 release comes fully-loaded with tons of great features, including several key updates to boost your geospatial analysis. In particular, the new multiple marks layers feature lets you add an unlimited number of layers to the map. This means you can visualize multiple sets of location data in context of one another, and there’s no need for external tools to build custom background maps.
