Let's say you are giving a presentation that includes both slides and Tableau dashboards/charts. You'd rather not switch back and forth between applications. You'd prefer to have it all in Tableau.

It's super simple with Google Slides. In this tip, I show you how to embed a Google Slides presentation in a Tableau dashboard.

NOTE: The Google Slides presentation will not render on Tableau Public, but it will work if you download it and open it on your computer. Download the workbook here.

Short and sweet this week. The data set is about the price of personal information on the dark web. There are three fields: Category, Product, and Price. To me, this looks like Superstore, so that's how I approached it. How can I visualize two fields that have a hierarchy?

In the video, I show you how to create a drill down with both a set action and a parameter action. Here's the video and below is the visualization.

Did you know you can create a bar chart without using the rows or columns shelf? Check out this super simple tip to see how it's done.

Despite the massive setback to women's right in Texas, less Americans are anti-abortion than in 1975. Now maybe if the barbaric dinosaurs in Congress in Texas came into the 21st century, they'd finally realize women are our equals and we shouldn't control them. It's all very, very disgusting. They should be ashamed, but of course they're not. In fact, they are quite proud of what they "achieved".

Context is important in data visualization. For every chart you create, consider asking yourself "compared to what?" 

In this tip, I show you how to add context to a simple bar chart by showing whether a value is above or below the average.

In this week's Watch Me Viz, I started by showing the original visualization, demonstrated how to make a non-geographical field geographical, and then I spent lots of time working through set action drill down.

I showed how to do drill down to two and three levels of dimensions in a hierarchy. Lastly, while building the dashboard, I also showed how to move fields you select in an action to the top of the view with a sorting calculation.

Enjoy!

I couldn't find too much to do with this week's data set, so I ended up with some simple BANs and line charts that take the original and reorganize them a bit to make them more clear.

Makeover Monday week 30 looked at this viz from Visual Capitalist showing the percentage of each race in each State in America.

In the video below, you'll see my recreate the tiled treemap before creating a tiled bar chart. Thanks for watching!

Another COVID-19 data set this week and a great visualization that shows how much more likely ethnic minorities in the UK are to die from COVID.

In the video, I worked through rebuilding the original viz since I liked it so much. Interact with the viz below the video.
