Thomas Höfer

Thomas is a Data Analyst with a keen eye for detail and an open mind for creative solutions. He is always thirsty for knowledge in new fields to apply his expertise in Data to them.

In his studies in mathematical economics he was able to work on various optimization fields like live calculations for airport runway efficiency or the large scale process of transforming a network for natural gas into a hydrogen one. Clear and understandable communication of complex topics was of special interest in my work as a tutor in mathematics classes for engineers.

Thomas combines the understanding of complexity with the drive for practical and clear communication for these topics.

Make over Make over Monday
The topic of my blog posts a few weeks ago was Makeover Monday. A cool Idea from our coach is to now revisit one of our old dashboards we did for MoM and do it again. Now in this position I have four dashboards to choose from: Waterworld, Energy Production, Engagement Rings and Marvel Movies

Power BI Table Heatmap with Bar Charts
Diese Woche gibt es eine Anleitung für das Kreieren von Table Heatmaps in Power BI. Leider ist die Table Heatmap keine von Power BI standardmäßig unterstützte Darstellung. Glücklicherweise unterstützt Microsoft Extensions, in denen wir eine offizielle Table Heatmap finden können

Gutes und schlechtes Dashboard Design
In der zweiten Woche angekommen fühlt es sich bereits gewohnt an den ganzen Tag Dashboards zu betrachten oder über Ihr Design nachzudenken. Es erscheint mir also nur passend im Blog unsere Erkundungen fremder Dashboards, guten wie schlechten, hier festzuhalten

First Blog
Hi Everyone, I'm Thomas, and this is my first blog post. Before officially starting my new role, I had the incredible opportunity to meet many of my future colleagues at the company Christmas party. It was the perfect informal setting to get a genuine sense of the workplace culture
