Join Michelle Wallace for our next Think Data Thursday: Behind the Scenes with Tableau's Social Media Data on Thursday, June 9th!

Social media data is hot stuff—and for good reason. With dozens of platforms and data sources to explore, you can get insights into a lot more than just your likes, follows, and retweets. When used well, social media data can help you uncover rich insights into real-time conversations and connect better with your community of followers.

But how does Tableau actually work with its own social media data? In this session, Michelle Wallace, who leads Tableau’s global social media programs, will share how Tableau uses data to drive decisions about its own social media program. Learn how we collect and manage our data, take a look at our team’s dashboards, and see some of our favorite Tableau tricks in action. Whether you already work with social media data or are just interested in getting started, this session is for you!

Join us February 11th at 8am PST for our next Think Data Thursday: Get Hopping with Jump Plot in Tableau

What is Jump Plot? Jump Plot helps analysts quickly identify outliers in repeated event sequences. It is built to scale to high volume series executions. Learn more at www.jumpplot.com.

Tom VanBuskirk and Chris DeMartini will take you through the concept and thinking behind the Jump Plot and how Tableau assisted with the origination of the graph. They will discuss when and where use of this novel graph can benefit analysis of your own workflows and sequences. Chris will then take you through a detailed walk through of data preparation steps and development of the Jump Plot, including a few variations and possible alternatives in Tableau.

The session will close with a dashboard demonstration highlighting how variations of Jump Plot can bring value to your own day to day analysis of event sequence workflows.

This event has concluded.

Join us August 27th at 8:00 AM Pacific/ 11 AM Eastern for the next Think Data Thursday. 

Broadcasting from the DataBlick Headquarters in San Francisco, join Jeff Shaffer, Noah Salvaterra, and Chris DeMartini as they use math and their amazing skills to bend pixels at their will to create new viz types which are not native to Tableau.

This session will start with a high level overview of these charts including sankey diagrams, tree diagrams, network graphs, hierarchy charts and a few others.

Key concepts that make these charts possible will be discussed, as well as business and appropriate use cases for these remarkable designs.
