I like map styles by mapbox. Creative maps from mapbox can help me make my visualisation more informative and easy to understand. Keep in mind, you can create a direct connection to mapbox from tableau. It is not necessary to have an account by mapbox. In order to integrate a map from mambos to tableau you have to follow next steps: Go to maps Background maps Map services You will get this window Go to "Add" Choose "Mapbox maps" And you will get this window Then go to  https://www.mapbox.com/studio/styles/ Press "Edit" Press "share, develop & use" Then go to the block "Use Style in GIS apps Choose "Tableau" Copy the Link and add to URL: à Press "Ok" On the website of mapbox  you can find a lot of different map styles.

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 .

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.

My aim is not only to create cool dashboards, but also to learn how to tell a story wit...

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...
