Hi,
Our company is scouting around trying to find a potential hire for a role as a permanent Tableau Developer (SW London Office) and I was wondering if there is a forum where we could ask, or advertise such thing?
-Cheers in advance!

Hi - we are looking for a Tableau guru to come and help us on a short term contract in London. Role is to help improve the performance of a number of workbooks our CFO has created, and use this knowledge to then suggest a number of more creative ways to visualise the data. Deep knowledge of table calcs / new analytics features like clustering, and use of extensions like R helpful. We are a financial services company based in the City offering a multi asset trading platform to our large international customer base.
Recommendations on which agencies to work with as well would be helpful.. thanks Peter
+1 for this. We've used several resources from Data School with great success.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Tableau for the last year or so and would love to meet other users to share experiences. I was wondering if there are any events or meetings in the coming weeks / months?
Thanks,
Yusra

Hello everyone.
I'm from Brazil and next month I'll work in London per 4 months.
I'd like to do a specific course about Data Visualization.
Someone could recomend to me some school or course?
Thank you.

David muito obrigado pela dica. Hoje mesmo vou verificar. O sr. Paul Chapman me recomendou a mesma pessoa.
Você conhece a comunidade do Tableau no Brasil? Se tiver um tempinho da uma olhada em ⌗tugsp
Lá tem um pouquinho sobre o que estamos fazendo com a ferramenta por aqui.
Novamente, muito obrigado!
Hi all, it's been awhile since the Tablites of the UK got together to swap best practices and tales of analytical valor. Are folks up to reunite soon?
As you know we're getting this going again. It will be led by myself, Paul Chapman & Thasan Vallipuranathan
We are currently formulating the structure and agenda for the first session. Thanks for your continued help in spreading the word.
Cheers
Paul
Hello,
So there seems to be a lot of info on ranking but none of it quite solves the problem i am having.
Essentially all i want to do is rank a whole load of names by the number of sales they have made - which is the easy part. But when i filter it to look at one name, it always shows that person as #1 - but i would like it to keep the number they were at when it was not filtered. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nathan,
Dimension filters in Tableau are applied before the table calculations. So filtering on the raw dimension would mean, Tableau filters that dimension first then executes the table calculation operation (opposite of what you want) which is why it always throws a value of 1, because there is only 1 row returned per customer. To fix this, you can create a calculated field on your dimension like:
LOOKUP(MAX([Customer Name]),0) and use this field in the filter instead of the raw dimension filter (this is a table calculation as well). So tableau just looks at the customer name that is selected in the filter retaining the values from the other table calculation and hence giving the unfiltered rank. Hope this helps!
Here is an article explaining the order of operation in Tableau: Tableau's Order of Operations
Hi all,
I thoroughly enjoyed our last user group meeting in February at the Blue Fin building, are there any plans for the next one?
