@davidfholt What are you doing that’s so important between now and Thursday? You should already be meeting and voting on this. Do your job.

@BirchLane this is the patio furniture we ordered in April, still in a pile because you didn’t ship legs and we’ve been trying for over a month to get replacements. I’ve spent hours on hold trying to get this resolved.

@rameswaram death cab for the postal service is such a good episode name. That is all.

@ChrisLuv I often argue the same thing about Access. I think a lot of the already-mentioned “spreadsheet as a DB” tools fit the bill: Airtable, Smartsheet, etc.
I personally use a combination of typeform and airtable with a pipeline to snowflake for a lot of form based inputs.

@DataDavidDeluxe @rajvivan @david - that’s a deep cut. I’ll see if I can find the original page.

@ktfontnowagner Oh good morning @ktfontnowagner ! I’ll second the jackery one. It’s what I carry too.

On my flight to #TC18 and I hear people talking about @tableau 2018.2 upgrade paths. This should be a good year at TC!

@TableauPro @knhinson @TableauSupport @tableau @interworks Interjecting myself since @TableauPro summoned IW. :) easiest way would be to include the “notes” in the workbook so that tableau’s built-in subscriptions could include them.
Otherwise, you would need to build a separate subscription mechanism.

@isaackunen I definitely enjoyed it. Thanks again, and congrats on #TableauPrep - we ❤️ it and can’t wait for scheduling!

Hey @tableau- thanks for a great week. And your whiteboard drawings are on-point as always. 😍

[Mat Hughes @MatHughesTweets]

@viz_dork @tableau @UnifiSoftware Perfect! Just reach out whenever. I’ll have a better idea of my week after tomorrow.

[Mat Hughes @MatHughesTweets]

Hey @Tableau HQ- it’s been a couple years, but I’ll be at the offices this week if anyone wants to get a beer. CC: @UnifiSoftware too. It’s hard to keep track.

[Mat Hughes @MatHughesTweets]

Hey there @tableau server folks. If you spend a lot of time trouble-shooting TT auth, you know how fun that can be. Go upvote this please - because fewer restarts makes everyone happy, especially @austinderrick2 https://t.co/LCFwninA7i

@daveedkirk I think user assistance embedded along with dashboards is always a great idea. Depending on the complexity of the dashboard, I like using lightboxes or short video walkthroughs.

[Mat Hughes @MatHughesTweets]

@AnnUJackson Hey @AnnUJackson - we’ve been testing in a variety of environments- feel free to DM if you’d like to set up a call to compare notes.

[Mat Hughes @MatHughesTweets]

It’s all happening. #data17
