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.
When you are creating a calculated field in Tableau Desktop, Server of Prep you might want to create some comments to help others see what the purpose of this field is, or explain the calculation that you made. In other situations you might want to test a line of code, and disable a previously written block of code without deleting it.
This is all possible using comments in calculated fields.

(more…)A small tip for a situation that is occurring once in a while to me (probably Mac specific):
If you have been working on a Tableau dashboard for quite a while, you suddenly can’t save the workbook anymore. ‘Save’ results in a popup which disappears very quickly, and ‘Save as’ shows the ‘save as’ dialog for a few milliseconds before disappearing again. Odd behavior – but especially annoying because you really want to save the changes you have made in the last two hours…
(more…)Female actors are getting more important in movies. In 2016 we had Jyn as the most important Star Wars character on the Rogue One posters, Harley Quinn was the leader of the Suicide Squad according to the posters and Black WIdow seemed to be one of the most important character in the Marvel universe.
But the space female actors were given on the the posters are definitely not in line with the time they were allowed to speak. Only Dory was able to chat her way throughout the movie.
Vrouwen worden steeds belangrijker in films. In 2016 hadden we Jyn als het belangrijkste karakter op de Star Wars posters, Harley Quin leidde zo’n beetje de Suicide Squad en Black Widow is al weer een paar jaar geleden neergezet als power-vrouw in het Marvel universum.
De ruimte die ingericht wordt op de posters voor vrouwen komt niet bepaald overeen met de tijd dat zij aan het woord zijn. Alleen Dory babbelt zichzelf er doorheen.
