Check out these text and number formatting tips to make your dashboards cleaner and understandable.

Holy Viz Extensions! This video from Tim and Tristan is so good. It's great to see the new viz types being brough into #Tableau. Which is your favourite? (I'm excited to explore Chord Diagrams) https://lnkd.in/e-rrACwQ

Clustered or overlapping bar charts offer the advantage of displaying a large amount of information in a compact space. However, as the name suggests, these charts can be cluttered and hard to interpret. What do you think? btw it is worth mentioning that PowerBI includes them as a native feature in their card visuals. #businessintelligence #tableau #powerbi

Too many dashboards? On many occasions I see significant dashboard bloat. 100s of dashboards, too hard to navigate, a challenge to maintain, and usage starts to slide. Dashboard developers and the admins maintaining the space should regularly review the content. Is it used? Is the same information provided in another dashboard? Possible to consolidate workbooks? Is it necessary to build a new dashboard for what is likely to be a 1 time ask? Etc. The moral of the story. Justify creating anything new. Review, and cut where necessary, existing content. And use permissions so users only get to see what should be relevant to them. #tableau #powerbi #dashboards

I've been trying to find a new way to filter a date range in Tableau that doesn't use Tableau's native options, because --- aesthetics. This method is using Parameter actions and filters and I think I like it but I'm not 100% sure. What do you think? Not got the formatting quite where I want it but function wise it does the business! #tableau #datafam #JBREC #dataviz

Dashboard Tip No. 24 - Consistency Always be consistent with how your dashboards are built. Colors, alignment, layouts, ect. Inconsistency leads to confusion and cognitive load. #tableau #powerbi #dataanalystbeginner #businessanalysttraining #businessintelligence #datatok #businessanalysttraining #businessanalyst #breakintoanalytics #dataanalyticscertification #dataanalyticscertificate #dataanalyst #dataanalytics

Hey, dashboard designers. Here are some of the things we'll be exploring in my upcoming Building World-Class Business Dashboards workshop on September 10 and 12. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eFzBQZnx #dashboards #tableau #powerbi #bi

I had an idea in mind on how to create interactive Bento Box KPIs in Tableau within a single worksheet, using map layers. As an additional challenge, I wanted to enable users to select KPIs to change the other charts' content dynamically and also visually indicate the selection for the bento box. Here are the results. #dataviz #tableau #datafam

"I didn't think it was very good." That's what I heard after the "big reveal" of some dashboards. A 6-ish months design and build process - without user involvement - and that was the response at the end of it. Not my project I must add (obviously!). But if you don't speak to the target users, don't get them engaged at the start of the process, don't expect them to love the results. And several months is too long to build a dashboard. But that's a different topic. #tableau #powerbi #dashboards

💹 If you're like me, you have some #Tableau workbooks that are chock-full of worksheets and dashboards. That makes it difficult to find what you're looking for, especially if your naming conventions aren't perfect. Time for a lesson on a hidden* feature in Tableau! If you need a high-level overview of all the objects in your workbook, try using the Sheet Sorter! It's a great way to get a visual overview of dozens of objects at once, and you can navigate from it as well! *Okay not really hidden, just not very obvious 😛
