Sure, Tableau Next looks great, but can we get rounded corners in Tableau Classic?

A short break from your regularly scheduled data content - check out these hooded mergansers! I'm about one year into birding and just starting to recognize some non-mallard ducks.

I really enjoyed listening to this data story, and couldn't resist exploring Lauren Bauer's (@laurenhlb.bsky.social) dataset myself!

Tableau dashboard Title - Data in Media: The Big Government Money Pipe Freeze Earlier this week I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts - Planey Money. Their guest, Lauren Bauer from the Hamilton Project, is a policy expert. She wanted to monitor government spending to see how DOGE has impacted spending - which payments were frozen, and which are still flowing. The episode is a great short story featuring data engineering, APIs, and high stakes data analysis! The visual continues to a small multiple chart with trends for each spending category, showing the 7 Day Moving Avg of Treasury Outlays for Nov 2024 - Feb 2025

Come see my talk 'Data Models 101 - Joins, Relationships, and Blends' at #TC25! This talk will walk through setting up each data model, compare the behavior of the models, and talk through the factors to consider when choosing the right data model for your use case.

See you in San Diego!

Kevin Wee's entry Stage to Screen is one of my favorites from this year. I feel like both of these charts are simple yet completely new, and I'm totally using this top left legend placement in a future project.

I think this NY Powerball entry by Audrey Goodwin is delightful. I love the interactivity, and how plainly it spells out the odds of winning.

My favorite detail is how borders and layout settings are used to format the ticket selector.

public.tableau.com/app/profile/...
Snapshot of the workbook open in the editor. The layout settings show a thick border with 10 pixels of inner padding around a table with borders in the same style.

I've seen multiple entries use the Map Layers hack in new and exciting ways. (Method: www.phdata.io/blog/beyond-...)

Annabelle Rincon's entry is a great example of this - her first dashboard uses a single worksheet with over 20 map layers!

Screenshot of the first dashboard of Annabelle's workbook. It shows about 20 map layers of varying types, including lines, circles, text, shape, and map fill.

My favorite build was for Birding. I attempted to recreated the experience of birding in a chart. As you interact with the dots, you'll see a lot of recurring characters. The less frequent observations stand out against the common birds in my area.
text: I started birdwatching in 2024, and have observed 92 species so far! Most of these outings were in the KC metro area. I managed to get out and see some birds on work trips to Florida and California as well. If you're interested in birding and data, I took Binoculars to Binomials this spring and enjoyed it! https://www.jerthorp.me/learning Color Legend: Birds Spotted in 2014 Red 1 Yellow 2-3 Green 4-6 Blue 7-10 Gray Over 10 Chart: A packed bubble chart where 70% of the bubbles are gray

The dashboard creates a classic ‘glow’ effect using four layers. A base image with the room and furniture, a glow worksheet with the density mark type, a second image with the items, and a targeting worksheet with invisible marks to trigger interactions.
An image of an office, including a long desk and bookshelf, in a pixel style. The same image of an office, with glowing yellow dots applied in clusters. The same image of an office with glowing sections, now images of objects have been added, sandwiching the glowing clusters between the background and foreground images. The same image of the office with the items and glowing halos, now with red circles on top of the items to indicate where the target marks would appear.

This one is a bit abstract! The first circle represents you, then click to include your parents. Each click brings the view back a generation.
