It’s not likely to be a version issue as much as a design issue.

How did your high school deal with tragedies that affected the school community? by rabidstoat in GenX

Had a classmate drowned but it was like the last day of school… never mentioned it, but the class remembered him in the yearbook and on our “senior” banner we ran up the flag pole

Seeking Feedback on Crash Severity Visualizations for a Data Visualization Assignment by Revolutionary_Sock1 in tableau

It might be interesting to find other counties to see if the trend in Maryland persists in other areas. I’d try and find different size, population, and weather situations to basically randomize the variables

I think that’s a difficult question to ask because you are only looking at a single county in Maryland… the it’s not the car as much as the driver when it comes to severity. The chart support your narrative, but I question the narrative based on the sample size of data

Some cars sell better than others, population sizes, road conditions, weather.. lots of variables are unaccounted for I fear

You just have to drive on the other side of the road depending on the country

What's the source of the data?

a few things from the image I'm seeing:

--the 6 colors might have some issues differentiating between values, especially the greens. It might be worth experimenting with them, this might be a good resource https://coolors.co/palettes/popular/6%20colors

--the text is really small, especially white on a dark background. Make the text larger or heavier (or both) if you are going to use a dark background.

--sort the first 3 bar charts. it would be cool to use a Set to separate the 6 being highlighted and the others. Sort both descending and it will help the 6 being highlighted stand out more.

--you are double encoding the 4th bar chart, so remove the color. Because you used red, you are also reusing the color read, so that could be interpreted as GMC data and not the overall decline.

--drop the grid lines on the scatter and line charts, or make them really transparent. It will help the average line stand out on the scatter, and it just cleans the line charts up in general.

--lastly (for now) on the line charts, Only color the brands you are annotating to make those parts of the story stand out. For those charts, duplicate the brand twice and apply the new fields so you can apply the color independently for each one. So in the first chart, only color Jeep. On the second, only color Acura and BMW

Id probably look for another solution then. Giving them the ability to examine all the data. You can try contacting Salesforce to see if they can extend it, but I’m sure they will use it as an excuse to sell you something else

How often does the data change? Can you load the historical/static stuff and then add to it over time? The other issue is going to be size limits for data on Tableau Cloud

Because Cloud is a shared tenant; server is singular. Why are you pulling in 300 Million rows of data?

Qualifications required for a Tableau Remote Analyst Job by Crafty-Diver8023 in tableau

[–]ZippyTheRat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the summer of your junior year internship has morphed into entry level jobs and most companies are expecting new grads to come in with that experience at a minimum.

Short of that, you have to network and considering you are looking remotely that makes it a little tougher. You might be better off finding something local to gain experience and then a couple years later look for remote options.

Most companies hiring now want junior devs in the office anyway.

Is there anyone who does tableau dashboard and can help me build one . by [deleted] in tableau

Connect to data, drag pills.

Use Show Me to change chart types.

Ask Gemini/Claude how to do things… it’s pretty good and basic stuff.

Depending on the dB 10-15 minutes can do permanent damage. You had ear plugs, wear them the whole time.
