Ever since we started work on our Einstein #Copilot for #Tableau, I had one question: can it help me with a genuine Tableau #Prep use case I had?

Short answer: 🎉Yes!
Long answer: watch the video!

I track my #strava data using Tableau, but all the logic was done in the workbook, and it was getting bloated. I needed to rebuild the (sometimes complex) logic in Prep. But was Copilot up to the task?

We've got a new book in the works, and this could be your chance to shine!

I'm delighted to announce that I'm working with Jeffrey Shaffer, Andy Cotgreave, and Amanda Makulec on a follow up to The Big Book of Dashboards.

But this isn't just "more of the same." Yes, we want more scenarios and more great dashboards (this is where you come in) but we plan to delve into the process around commissioning, designing, developing, testing, deploying, evangelizing, improving, and measuring the success of dashboards.

Click the link for a short video describing what we're up to as well as a submission form where, if you have a world-class dashboard, you can submit your work to be included in this new book!

NOTE: We plan to close the first round of submissions on January 31.

Stills used are from SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE (from Sony Pictures Entertainment) and the book Spider-man: into the Spider-verse: The Art of the Movie (.

ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analysis Engine (formerly Code Interpreter) allows anyone who can type English to do exploratory data analysis (EDA). They can explore the data, find insights, and output them to various formats.

I'm going to do a series of live shows doing on different datasets. Join me as I find my way through the data, using just a text prompt.

Ultimately, we'll find out: is ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analytics plugin good enough to replace humans, or the software tools they're already using?

I'm going to do EDA on a different dataset each week for four weeks. Join me as I find my way through the data, using just a text prompt.

How can we be better data presenters? We can merge the message and messenger together. Imagine a world where we immerse ourselves into the data, without the need for special hardware. Imagine if we could bring the data to life in order to share insights, persuade others, and drive change.

Here's the delightful Tableau Gestures **research prototype** shown at Tableau Conference 2023 and at the Gartner BI Bake Off by myself and Matthew Miller, based on exceptional research led by Matthew Brehmer.
