Introducing our ‘Top Tableau Blogs’ viz!

We’re delighted to announce that our brand new ‘Top Tableau Blogs’ viz is now available on Tableau Public, you can access it by clicking the picture below or at this link: public.tableau.com/views/TopTableauBlogs

How does it work?

Every week we review all the top active Tableau blogs as part of our weekly Tableau Tea Break newsletter. While doing this we update our top tableau blog posts viz with the latest posts, plus any new blogs and re-publish the viz to Tableau Public.

You can filter by month and individual blogs are shown on the left ordered by the number of posts in the selected month(s). You can see all the individual blog posts on the right hand side, with the most recent at the top - clicking any of the items takes you directly through to that blog article.

You can also filter on individual blogs by clicking them on the left to only see posts from that blog. The tooltip shows you when they last posted, the number of articles they’ve posted each month and how frequently they post. You can also click to visit the selected blog direct from the tooltip.

We add posts and blogs throughout the week with a full update every Sunday meaning the longest time between a post being published and appearing in the viz is seven days.

When did you last update this?

The last update was on Sunday 6th December 2020 where we added:

1 new blog this week:

Tableau-ish from Tarun Deep Chhabra including 6 posts since November.

14 blog posts from this week:

5 new posts from the official Tableau blog.
