Recently, we built a dashboard in collaboration with a client and their incredibly talented team. This Superstore KPI dashboard was inspired by this dashboard. I would call this the "light" version as it does not include a pile of functionality that is included in the actual dashboard (including the ability to choose from numerous different time frame options such as previous month, previous year, YTD, custom date range, etc). You can check it out here or by clicking on the image below. Hope...| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau

Table calculations aren't the easiest thing to understand. I struggle with them often. I can typically get them to work the way I want them to, but it's often through a bit of trial and error. However, Fixed LODs come really naturally to me and I have a very strong understanding of how they work.| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau

The following is a guest blog post from Ethan Hahn (a regular contributor on our site). Ethan works at the University of Cincinnati and runs a small analytics team in the Office of Research. Previously, he spent 27 years at Unifund working with Jeff Shaffer, Dinushki DeLivera, Jennifer Dawes, and myself. This was my first job using Tableau, so I learned a lot from Ethan and we learned a lot together.| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau
I was recently building a dashboard for a client and one data set was particularly challenging. The data looked at rates from 0 to 100% (exactly what it was measuring isn't important). Each row in the data showed a rate for a given product category on a weekly basis for an entire year. So one product category would have 52 rows associated with it - a rate for each week. If there were 10 product categories, there would have been 520 rows of data.| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau

So you build a horizontal bar chart showing some values over time...let's say by month. You start off building it with a discrete date, but you decide to show a trend line. Denied! You can't show a trend line with that discrete date. So you change it to a continuous date, you add your trend line without a problem, but then you realize the labels are not centered to the bar. And there is no way to center them. Argh!!!!!!! This blog post will help you solve this problem!| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau

I really don't like stacked bar charts - they have so many inherent problems. But sometimes, they are, in fact, the best chart for the job. But when I design a stacked bar chart, I take numerous steps to make the chart the most insightful and easy to understand as possible. I've spoken about many of these techniques in past blog post and presentations and I will refer to those today, plus I'll add in one technique that I think takes it to the next level - allowing a user to toggle between con...| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau

For that reason, the data in the dashboard will not be updated for the entire month of January and will continue to reflect data for the previous month (Dec 2023).

Recently, a client asked me to build them a visual to show their top 20 most profitable accounts. I created a simple bar chart showing profit and filtered that down to the top 20. However, as I looked at the chart, I wondered to myself...why are they the most profitable? The numbers were all pretty similar (say for example, #1 was $100,000 and #20 was $80,000), but how did they get to be the most profitable. So as a good analyst does, I started exploring that. I ended up adding in additiona...| The Flerlage Twins: Analytics, Data Visualization, and Tableau
