Alteryx Inspire – Day 1
When I went to the Tableau Conference last year, I felt it was important to spend some time documenting my experience.

The Alteryx Inspire conference is a pared down conference with about 2,000 attendees. […]

#MakeoverMonday Week 18
{witty intro} This week’s makeover challenge was to take Sydney ferry data for 7 ferry lines and 8 months. What’s even better is there was another dimension with a domain of 9 members.

Makeover Monday Week 8 – Potatoes in the EU

So I was less than thrilled about approaching a week that was pure potato (especially coming off the joy of Valentine’s Day). Nonetheless – it presented itself with a perfect opportunity […]
