Tableau Tip Tuesday is normally reserved for a single tip, but this week I'm happy to present to you 86 tips! That's right...86! Embedded below is the presentation from the Data16 session I did with Jeff Shaffer.

Our goal going into the session was to see if we could get to 50 tips in 50 minutes. Right before we started, we decided to let our wonderful judges and the audience count the tips. Why? Because Jeff and I have been using Tableau for a long time and sometimes we do things that come second nature to us that others didn't know.

This was BY FAR the most fun presentation I've ever given or been a part of. Thanks Jeff for being a great partner!!

If you'd like to follow along, you can download the workbook of my tips here.

My advice, pause the video along the way and try to reproduce the things I do using the starter workbook. Have fun!

This week we took Makeover Monday Live to TC16! Since we're in Austin, Andy Cotgreave found an awesome data set about Austin restaurant inspections. Here's the visualisation we're looking to makeover:


As you drill into the viz you get more and more detail, like this:



What works well?

• Super intuitive interface; everyone know how to drill in on a map
• Simple instructions
• Nice grouping of restaurants with a counter
• Nice use of symbols to represent a specific restaurant
• Good use of colors

Today at Tableau on Tour London, I had the opportunity to share as many tips and tricks as I could in 30 minutes over lunch. For me, it’s super fun to share what I’ve learned from others, so thank you for the opportunity.

You can download the workbook here (requires Tableau 10). Below is the session recording. Enjoy!
