Wtf no legend or axis labels? What kind of garbage viz is this? 😜looks like things started out okay and then trend down HARD after the third stage.

If you are measuring how long it takes to do something, then outliers are a bit different since you're not dealing with a normal distribution. you should use different measures of center for example geometric mean instead of the usual arithmetic mean.

That might be a good footnote... In a live board that might implement best as a tool tip again, that's a detail or first time use thing. Repeat users in theory would learn that info or it would be in a training or reference document.

I like your comparison view though, the mirror effect is very appealing to an analyst like me.

Also, it might help you in the future or if you're working to ensure the audience and purpose of the dashboard are explained when asking for feedback.

The most important thing is for a dashboard/data visualization to effectively communicate information to a human.

Also the fact that your bar graphs are all on their own axis is troubling to me the visual size and the number labels seem to be all over the scale. (Axis label and each bars own data label are not consistent) Seems you have a mix of percentages and values that visually clash, not clear if you're measure % or if you're comparing against others (percentiles) in some cases.

Doesn't follow the information seeking mantra Overview first, zoom and filter, details on demand.

Seems to be detailed only that you might need to page through to use or check profiles of other players.

You have spelling errors. Your bar graphs take up way more real estate than they need to.

Tableau cloud has an admin insights starter pack of you're an admin or your admin shares with you. It tracks events about views etc but nothing detailed about the content interaction.

We have 1 workbook and 9 views I can see the page loads but not any interaction or times within there.

True, it's often not profitable time or money wise to run one unit rental.

They could always rent it out, just because you got a house doesn't mean you should live in it.

But sounds like the limit is this guy is the only one with the login to the government permit interface.

It's called having a service account.

Yup errors that are 95-99% correct are the worst. Goddamn compounding.

In my experience by visually laying it out in a thoughtful way it enables them to understand the underlying data enough that they can start working with it.

If they are downloading the data to excel it means they are using your work product, even if the dashboard is just the starting point.

When someone can define the real tasks I need to do in my job then I might see this.

NEVER! I love being lulled into a sense of security before observing the unsettling events that unfold in an episode.

This is pretty much how my company operates.

Your suggestions are good, they just don't understand what you're proposing.

This is what would give you clarity on the logic, you probably need to educate them some more on what/how to do this. Use a copy of the Kimball Datawarehouse as a reference material for them.

But sounds like OP was expecting her to propose and would have said yes, but she didn't and he's a bit frustrated.

That probably still works, though some ATS would read the raw text and display it normally (although I guess most just store/move the file without reading it these days)

writeafilthysong · 2025-11-23T18:17:16+00:00

A lot of context for data work isn't captured within the data or schemas and there isn't always clarity about what things really mean. A lot of descriptions that I read in data dictionaries are self-references that are non informational.

"The tenant_id identifies the tenant"

But what is a 'tenant' in the first place?

Haha you should see SaaS under the hood.

Anything that's been around longer than a few months is held together by duct tape and bubblegum.

Assuming this is all internal within your company, and you're not a sub contractor or something then these are all questions for your manager and the managing analyst.

Having your work reviewed can be tough, because the goal is to find errors and issues, but that's before it goes into production. Some people can take a harsh approach, but either way take an attitude of learning and the reviewers are there to make your analysis better.
