One of the biggest myths of Tableau Javascript API is that you cannot use it inside Tableau Server. Some says that you need to embed your workbooks into external sites to leverage Javascript API. Well, don’t believe them since Tableau JS API works flawlessly in Tableau Server Vizportal with any workbook without any with some minor […]

Tableau’s Javascript API evolves fast. In just a few versions we have arrived from the basic embedding to an event based, fully asynchronous API. Maybe the last, missing piece was accessing the summary and underlying data (however most of us used the [crayon-61461cde7a910759101093-i/]  vizql controller to get the underlying data as featured in our excel […]

No doubt that chess is one of my favourite game. It’s more than 15 centuries old but still fresh and enjoyable.

Self-service does not start at report development. With tools like Alteryx or Talend you can get and transform your data easily and produce consumable output formats for your reporting or visualization tool (yes, for Tableau). This sounds cool, but it’s still an iterative process: extract and load, then analyze.

Programming is a way to express ourselves, is a form of art if you do it with style and do it properly. The source code is a literature. However, the programming language determines the genre, you can write heroic poems in C or ASM, zen koans in Lisp/Clojure, contemporary farout stories in Haskell or write the next […]
