2025 Goals - Button Trick Learnings

 2025 - Tableau Goal - keep the momentum going

 

 

With 2025 in front of us, I've decided to uptick and dust off this blog.  Because my Teachers College Tableau gig is complete, I have decided to dedicate more time/learning to Tableau and my public profile for 2025.  My Goals are to iterate and continue to showcase my public profile with keeping a focus on what I've learned and my challenges of learning's passed on to others.

This particular leaning had to do with working with a slick button control trick (my end result) Lindsey Betzendahl demonstrated through this post.  My biggest struggle was trying to understand the Dashboard Actions (parameter/filters). Lindsey is very good at explaining this in her blog post, but I put together some screen shots below with some more explanations.

AI NOTE - One cool thing I did that I've never done is to generate the data through Gemini AI. The world is just opening up on this front.. and I am excited to continue the AI learning path! see last part of screen shot on terminology I used.

 

 

 

 

I USED AI Gemini to create dataset

 

CAN YOU GIVE ME EMPLOYEE DATASET OF 1,000 EMPLOYEES INCLUDING ID, GENDER, AGE, POSITION, DEPT, PROMOTED, SALARY, TENURE, PERFORMANCE RATING, ABSENTEEISM RATE, ENGAGEMENT SCORE, JOB SATISFACTION, PARTICIPATION IN TRAINING ?

How I secured my Tableau Specialist Certification

Image
I have been asked for input and resources in reference to securing my Tableau Specialist Certification, so I thought it would be best to write about it in a blog. I would register for this test NOW as the SPECIALIST cert if 50% off until the 1 st of the year (end of 2018).   You can register now and take it months later if you want.  Essentially, tools I used can be broken into these pieces; The hard part right now is the specialist cert is so new there are not a ton of resources for just the specialist but more of the Desktop Qualified Associate.   So hopefully this will help.    .        Classes    .        Resources           Prep for the certification I.Classes : I did not take any of the paid Tableau courses but did take several courses through Linkedin and Udemy. I like Udemy more just because I can go back any anytime an...

New Years; New ‘Goals:keeping up with the 'side gig'

Image
I am trying to get back into Tableau and keep my skills fresh while doing some other things with my career and job. So, getting back into Tableau had been fun, albeit a little time consuming. My goal is to publish every other week and absorb the MM webinars weekly.   This will give me a little breathing room for work while still keeping in the field.   I have been keeping up with the weeks but this is my first lessons learned post.  I hope to go back to the previous weeks and talk through lessons learned as time permits.  Week1 was a big struggle for me but a very fun one so stay tuned! MM_W5 , I really wanted to learn how to do a negative bar chart. This is in essence displaying a set of data in bar but show it against a colored background to help the reader understand the data visually against 100%.   I believe this has a stronger impact than just a standard bar chart.   Lessons Learned: Dual Axis; To do this type of chart you n...

Hex Maps | Adding Color Palette | Highlight Bars in Chart  This week we'll talk about these topics. How to do I go about approaching the topic and my direction. Lessons learned Resources How do I approach the Topic; Learn from others\refresher; I have to be honest, because I am so new to Tableau and want to learn as much as possible as I am working on my weekly viz's, I often look at others and see if something resonates with me.   Eva and Andy have been talking about keeping things simple lots lately so I try to focus on that when I look at other's viz's.   I also either try to pick at least 1 new learning lesson (easy to do at this stage) or something I haven't focused on for a while for a refresher. Sketch out what I am thinking ; yep, I try an jot down what I am thinking on paper. Many times it takes different directions but I think it's important to at least start wit...
