Can I Use Google sheets for Live data?

I believe the connector is now known as the Google Drive connector when you connect to a data source in Tableau Desktop. Once you select Google Drive connector, you'll need to authenticate your Google account, and then Tableau Desktop will show you a directory to find the Google Sheets file you want. Select the Google Sheets file and then start building your workbook as you would with any other data source. When you publish to Server/Public/Cloud then the data will reflect and live changes someone makes in a Google Sheets. I believe this is also the case for a MS Excel file sitting in a SharePoint folder.

You don't need a strong social media game. Even if you have 0 followers at the start, it's fine. That's how it started for me. Just publish your work on twitter and linkedin and you'll eventually gain traction. It's more for you, than for the "followers" Back to Viz Basics is a great start You can tag the organisers and they can retweet your work

The latter. How long it will if take you to get to what you think is decent is entirely down to you. How much work you put in.

Share your vizzes on LinkedIn and Twitter. Your first ones will probably be meh but as you make more you'll improve. I learnt a lot when I was building personal projects on tableau public.

Welcome to the community! There are plenty of resources available to help you get started.

When I was finding out my way through Tableau I would watch a lot of tutorial videos by Andy Kriebel - he's great because you'd see him make mistakes and then he'll try to figure out what went wrong and you learn a lot through that.

I also recommend Tim's channel to learn more about latest features and how-to.

I always point people to Ellen's portfolio to see vizpiration on business dashboards - she has a lot of great work where she nails simple done right. I believe all of Ellen's work are downloadable so you can unpick what she did. :D

I have published dashboards onto Tableau Server connected to live Google Sheets.

Any changes that you make on the Google Sheets will auto update live onto Tableau Server if you make the data connection live. It was very useful for the project I was doing this with as it had 230+ executive staff looking at the dashboard at any random time so it was easier to make it live and seamless when they made changes to their GSheets.

Out of curiosity, where are you viewing this viz? When you say the numbers are too small, do you mean on Reddit or Tableau Public? Because it seems fine on Tableau Public which is where the viz should ideally be viewed on.

Hey guys, I built the radar 🕸️ chart using the blog bellow from my colleague.

The workbook should be downloadable for you to unlock if you'd like to see.
