About me

See my CV

Why I blog? 
Tableau offers a lot of possibilities to make creative visualization. This tool also has a mass of cool features and I would like get to know some them. I try to rebuild some elements, what I discovered on tableau.public or some informative blogs like vizwiz, storytellingwithdata as also vizcandy. Sometimes I meet people with the same interests like me, so I learn also from them. In my blog, I try to cement my knowledge and also share them with you.

Why do I blog in English? 
My mother tongue is Russia. I also speak German very well. But I would like to learn English. When I blog an English I learn a lot. I think this is the best way to improve my English skills. So please, don't be strict, if you notice some mistakes in my posts. :)

What kind of targets do I pursue with my posts? 
My tableau workbooks are not perfect.  But I am working on that. My aim is not only to create cool dashboards, but also to learn how to tell a story with data. In addition I would like to learn how people (i.e. the audience) read the worknooks. This info help to create more effective dashboards. Thats why I would like to improve my skills as a dashboard designer. So please, don't hesitate to give me your feedback.

So feel welcome on my page!

Tableau Table Calculation Function: WINDOW - Functions

The functions which begin with „WINDOW_...“ are also common used in Tableau. Remember! The “WINDOW_” function stays for the offset in data set, so-called WINDOW. It can look like this: 1) You can see the “WINDOW” clearly because of separation line between rows: 2) You limit the “Window” by giving the information about the first and the last row number. In this case, you give Tableau the information about the data offset. Let's have a look at the example with WINDOW_SUM I created a sample with data from Superstore. I would like to have a total sum of Sales in every row. In order to do this I created a calculation field: WINDOW_SUM(SUM([Sales]), FIRST(), LAST()) With this formula I said to Tableau: “Hey Tableau, calculate the total sum of sales from the first till the last row in the data set” And this is the result: Tableau wrote the result (total sum of Sales) in every row. As another option you can cumulate the result in each row and...

I want to understand RegEx! (Part2)

It is already two weeks ago since my last blog post. This two weeks I spent in Scotland. It is a very beautiful country with unforgettable landscaps. However, it is not the topic I want to talk about. In this blog I will continue the topic about the RegEx and its using in Tableau. Tableau offers you four different uses cases of RegEx: REGEXP_EXTRACT If you have data like this: aspirin_20_mg_oral_tablet and you would like to extract onliy 20_mg. What I do is I check my RegEx on this web site: http://regexr.com/ If it is ok, put this RegEx in Tableau function: REGEXP_EXTRACT([0-9][0-9]+[_]+[a-z]+) and extract all "20_mg" REGEXP_EXTRACT_NTH The same like the function before but here you can limit your extract to Nth index. Image you have data like this: aspirin_20565435 and you want to extract only "aspirin_20". So your formula should be: REGEXP_EXTRACT_NTH([a-z]+[0-9], 2) REGEXP_MATCH It is very easy one: Using REGEXP_MATCH we can find if ...

How create a calender with tableau?

I posted a calendar to tableau public, which I have done with Tableau 9.3. In my first blog I would like to share with you the steps for creating a calendar. The data sources and calendar you can find here. There are different reasons to use a calendar in tableau e.g. You can create your own calendar with an individual format and a lot of appointments. So it will help you make planning better.  You can also analyze things with calendar, if you drop&down a relevant dimension in order to show successful or not successful days.  To create such things is just a training and will help you use dimensions&figures on another way. And thi is my approach: I created a spreadsheet in excel with three columns: Date  Type of holiday  Holiday The column "Type of holiday" is necessary in order to make differences between private and official holidays. With the spell "C" I marked all private birthdays and with the spell "F" all offici...
