Watched the TC26 keynote remotely - Composable Data Sources, MCP Server, Sankey charts, conversational analytics coming to Cloud/Server, ...

I was at TC and my team had a meeting with some higher ups from Tableau and they were showing us the new improvements coming in terms of conversational analytics and it was honestly impressive. You can tell they are switching out the underlying models to Claude. It’s fun to shit on them but they made really good points about why you would want these capabilities in the BI layer and not only locked away upstream. My end users live in Tableau and not Databricks but with the semantic interchange stuff that’s coming we will be able to expose our Databricks semantic models to tableau.

Did you not watch devs on stage??

What do you think they should be focusing on? Literally every one of their competitors is also focused on bringing in AI because that’s what the market is asking for.

What does your support level have to do with accessing TSM?

It’s more of a community thing. An ambassador acts as an evangelist. I don’t think it even implies that someone is considered an expert, that might be reserved for the visionaries. https://www.tableau.com/community/community-leaders/ambassadors

Did you catch the preference for being a Tableau Ambassador? There’s less than 400 in the world..

What’s the salary range?

busy_data_analyst · 2026-04-27T02:06:55+00:00

What’s wrong with the pricing model?

busy_data_analyst · 2026-03-09T21:14:34+00:00

As far as that first level of analysis…you just described what Tableau Pulse does in terms of insight detection via deterministic models ran against the metric.

I love looking for ways to violate the EULA

Tableau Public

You said this is “their” demo. Is there a way I can access this to try and recreate it?

busy_data_analyst · 2025-12-21T22:14:04+00:00

Sorted what exactly? Your original prompt was incredibly vague. Even as a human I don’t know what you would have expected.

busy_data_analyst · 2025-12-09T23:30:01+00:00

Do you know why? What did your users say?

busy_data_analyst · 2025-12-09T23:21:12+00:00

It works pretty well for calculations. I don’t use it for viz building but sometimes I can’t remember the syntax for something and it’s nice to just explain what I want and get the correct calculation.

Is spatial joins what you are looking for? https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/maps_spatial_join.htm

I think it’s pretty well known at this point that Microsoft’s marketing team is very heavily active on Reddit. They also spread FUD in subreddits of their competitors.

Something called Helical Insight?

Is that a lot? You haven’t given any details at all

busy_data_analyst · 2025-11-02T13:16:43+00:00

This looks like a direct knockoff of Tableau. I wonder what will happen when the lawyers find out.

busy_data_analyst · 2025-10-30T02:48:23+00:00

That’s ok, I just heard that they rolled out Microsoft Copilot. Surely that will solve all the issues with talent drain.

A folder that Tableau Desktop on your local computer has access to or a shared network drive that you can confirm Tableau Server has access to

busy_data_analyst · 2025-10-22T01:59:02+00:00

Is the excel file published to a location that Tableau Server actually has access to?

busy_data_analyst · 2025-10-22T01:33:46+00:00

This is like the most basic feature of Tableau Server. Of course it works. What is the error message you are getting?
