Tableau Desktop but free - ish. (youtu.be/0sW-CnZ-ALM ) Yep Tableau Public Desktop Edition is live now in 24.1.2 and it lets you save locally on your laptop no restrictions on how or where... No I need to spell this out, you can : 1) Work offline. 2) Use public or private data. 3) You can use it to try out Tableau at work with any local file types (excel, csv, spatial, statistical) export you got sent. 4) You get autosave so no lost work. 5) No more publishing 100 times before sharing to the world. 6) All the power of Tableau desktop with only restrictions being on cloud / server and database connections. 7) We finally have something to shut down that PowerBi Desktop Edition discussion 😎 #data24 #tableau #analytics

Designing Dashboards is my favorite thing to do. Check out this article I wrote about why I think dashboard design is important, and why I think projects are more successful when the dashboard is beautiful and compelling. medium.com/@ktricker15/three…

My previous blogs on embedding @Tableau focused on making embedding easier for non-programmers. But Tableau just introduced a new tool taking this to the next level, the Embedding Playground. flerlagetwins.com/2023/08/em…

The Normandy Landings, commonly referred to as D-Day, happened 79 years ago today on the 6th of June, 1944. "Taxis to Hell - and Back - Into the Jaws of Death" is a photograph taken on that day by Robert F. Sargent, a chief photographer's mate in the United States Coast Guard. It depicts soldiers of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division disembarking from a landing craft onto Omaha Beach.

Sharing my #Dashboard Color Tester where you can paste @coolors_co color palette URLs to see how it would look from a #dataviz perspective. This was just a quick concept, but let me know what you think! Link - bit.ly/3LiC0Vs #Datavisualization #NoCode @Squirrel_365

New Blog Post - What Size Should Your Dashboard Be? I recently asked the #datafam what size they use for most of their dashboards. The results were very interesting! I also did some research of my own to determine the most optimal size. Check it out. flerlagetwins.com/2023/01/bl…
