While learning about cloud technologies and their potential Damiana kept hearing about the importance of data analysis and how Tableau was changing this field. After realising how data analysis was changing every field, Damiana eagerly jumped at the chance to learn everything about how to do it best with Tableau.

In her spare time Damiana likes doing yoga, burning time on her PS4 and learning new languages. She’s currently mastering Danish!

Rent in San Francisco and the end of Dashboard Challenge
So we made it to the end of the Dashboard Challenge week, with enough brain cells left to decide to go to the pub and celebrate. It wasn’t easy but it was incredibly fun

Achieving the Millennium Goals (and realising how much you've learned)
Yesterday’s data involved the dataset that shows how each country is doing in achieving the Millennium Goals by showing a series of indicators for each Goal and the value for each country over the years. You can read more here: http://www.unmillenniumproject

Bars are boring! Use cute little shapes instead!
Today’s topic might not necessarily be best practice in terms of visualisation, but scores really high on the prettiness / quirkiness scale

Third day of the Data School Week Tip. In the last post I have talked about how to use sets across data sources. Today I will talk about different data sources again, but this time it’s about filtering more than one data source using parameters

More fun with sets
The topic of today is sets. We use them all the time but do we really know what we can do with them? I have talked previously [https://www.thedataschool.co

Using story points? Then do it well
The immense brain of Craig Bloodworth [http://twitter.com/craigbloodworth]thinks that story points in Tableau don’t have a good use case and they are usually employed in a really bad way. He is spot on in his second remark but I hope he will forgive me for disagreeing with point number one

3 Things I wish I knew before taking the Tableau qualification exam
