    Thank you for your amazing tutorials! Although I'm a Tableau novice, it is easy for me to comprehend the subject matter thanks to your instructional format. I'm working on a dashboard for my capstone in data analytics and felt that it looked boring and incohesive. I still need a lot of practice, but your tips helped me join all of the elements that I needed for my executive summary.

    Thanks for your videos!! I find them very helpful and well explained. I started to work in the BI field using Power BI, and the transition to Tableau has been tough. Is there any book or set of courses you recommend to become as proficient as you are, I am highly interested in learning more about the "theory" behind Tableau.

      Hello Diego - thank you for your feedback. I like Joshua Milligan's books (Learning Tableau), and I also refer to the online documentation a lot (they've really improved the online documentation over the years). I also try to watch a lot of the Tableau Conference recorded videos - many of them have great content.

    Good tips which i can use in my daily work, Also, can i know how do you plan a dashboard development?
    1. is it first business requirements , then a sample sketch, then data shaping and then first draft of visualization ( this is what i follow for Operational or Strategic dashboards)
    or
    2. Business requirements, data shaping, data analysis , then combination of various analysis charts to produce a storytelling ( this is what i use for Analytical dashboards)
    if you put some light on it or make a video, it will help many people. I find many Developers face this dilemma when they start to build dashboard, how to plan a successful dashboard and build them in a iteration model.

    • @sqlbelle
      @sqlbelle  Před 3 lety +3

      Thank you for this suggestion Aditya.
      In my experience, it has always been a collaborative approach and the strategies may depend on who our primary end users are. There are times when storyboarding and sketching together works well, and there will be other types of audiences where bringing some prototypes are more useful.
      My team works very closely with other functional groups, and we go through iterations. It is never a one shot deal.
      During our meetings, we try to focus on requirements in these cross functional meetings and I've found that that helps. It also influences the strategy for our deployment.
      I think one of the biggest challenges I see (and have experienced) is switching your hat from a technical person to a business stakeholder. The views and priorities are different. Tableau is helpful because it also aids us in these conversations.
      This is a great suggestion, will definitely look into creating this video in the next few ones.

      Hello Nishi - I create a calculated field that has an empty string - two double quotes with nothing in between. Other times I also have used a single space. This is really more of a cosmetic touch. Hope this helps!

    Wonderful video. Thanks. One Quick Question: When I publish the dashboard online then it works fine with Desktop. As soon as I select different layout e.g. iPad, the alignment goes off. How do I make the layout fix for whatever screen size I am choosing?

    • @sqlbelle
      @sqlbelle  Před 3 lety +1

      That dashboard size do you choose? If you select "Fixed Size" it shouldn't resize on different devices, unless you have a Device Designer layout.

    Intuitive way to create dashboard. One query, you created BAN worksheet for KPI data, how to create this? I have seen some videos but they have separate worksheet for each KPI but you have all KPIs in single sheet (BAN). Have you explained this earlier in any of other videos? If yes, please link below.

    • @sqlbelle
