• Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness

  Hey everyone, I'm interested in taking the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness course through tableau.com to prepare and get Tableau certified. I had some questions about the course, such as are the videos pre recorded or in person, do you have access to the material once the 90 days expire, and I was also wondering if anyone had input/advice for this course. Thanks! Source: 10 months ago

• Where to publish knowledge sharing on Tableau reverse engineering and data dictionary generation?

  Could anyone recommend what media I should approach to publish my work (internet or print). I could try the Tableau forum in tableau.com but it's not very active + Tableau may be unappreciative as my work overlaps with their (pricey) data management solution. Plus it needs to be some high visibility / reputable media to count for my career development. Any recommendations welcome thanks!!! Source: over 1 year ago

• I have huge loads of data in Redshift. How can I make this available to end-users after performing few procs and queries? It should be available online.

  Tableau public: tableau.com. Big player but your data will be made public and not really user-friendly data model. Source: about 2 years ago

• What tips do you have on evaluating various BI tools for business needs? What are the essential criteria's you would include when evaluating different tools? The goal is to have an unbiased, objective approach.

  For example, we have a project to compare Tableau, Power BI, and InetSoft. The need for strong pagination-based email delivery eliminated Tableau. AWS's Linux instance is the targeted platform which makes Power BI less than ideal. Source: about 2 years ago

• Anyone go into Data Analytics after this program?

  I just started learning Tableau because our dept is transitioning into Tableau from Power BI. Since I already have years of experience with Power BI I just went over their tutorials from tableau.com and got onboarded pretty quick. I'm still learning it but I'm at least able to build out reports and get things done. Its not too difficult to pickup one BI tool when you have experience with another. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What's the best charting library for customer-facing dashboards?

  We use echarts at https://evidence.dev and have been quite happy with it. We do a lot of embedded analytics and it's worked well for us. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• SQLPage – Building a full web application with nothing but SQL queries [video]

  It’s interesting to me how far you have pushed the SQL language in this framework, such that it truly is “SQL only”. The challenge as I see it with enabling analysts to build websites is that you need to build abstractions to get from familiar (SQL, yaml) - the language of analytics, to new (HTML, CSS, JS) - the language of the web browser As one of the maintainers of Evidence ( - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Blazer: Business Intelligence Made Simple

  Dataclips was my first experiences writing SQL. Writing code was a markedly better DX that building dashboards in Tableau, which is why I'm now working on https://evidence.dev - a SSG for creating data from SQL and markdown Previous HN discussions:. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Apache Superset

  Full fledged BI tools like Superset and Metabase are amazing for their intended use cases. But they may be an overkill if your primary use case is to infrequently build semi-interactive reports for non-technical end-users and your use cases are are mostly covered by standard graphs & tables. Esp. So if you are familiar with SQL and have access to the underlying data source. Two nifty utilities I have found to be... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
