@DataShaun are those the guys in a cube I keep hearing about

Another day, another nebulous #PowerBI issue!

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@DataShaun But only the truth can set me free 😂

Tagging @GuyInACube, the collective of wizards

Hey #PowerBI users; is there any way you can add data alerts for the #fabric Capacity Metrics app? Any tips?

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@TableauTrooper @ItsElisaDavis Definitely do it! I tried to start up an emergency/disaster management one but it didn’t get much traction :/

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

@KevinWee90 It looks just as corny as it used to be 😂 very excited!

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@_gringuinho_ @HighVizAbility Of course—I think I was just digesting that particular tweet :) For me, a huge part of understanding is effective data modeling. Of course, the UI/UX, order of ops, etc are in the mix too.

Is advances Tableau actually just geometry and trigonometry 🤔

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@HighVizAbility Oh 100%! I saw the radial chart explainer from @kaljamf and this thought just hit me

[William Brown @willchamp_]

Nothing like misspelling “advanced” to put you in the mindset for some advanced SQL

Hi #data community! Does anyone you know or an organization looking for a community of practice or COE lead? I’d love to have a virtual coffee with you in the upcoming weeks. ❤️

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@dbfmurray Sounds just like Chicago

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@FlerlageKev Thank you! Time to corral the unreliable parties

[William Brown @willchamp_]

Does anyone have any good Tableau Bridge resources? Somebody connected to a SQL Server instance, but didn’t actually create/publish a data source. Any way I can do that via bridge without connecting directly to SQL Server/via cloud? I don’t have the SQL Server credentials 🥵🥵

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@FlerlageKev That’s exactly what I was getting at, and given it’s an on prem server, seems like the other party will need to publish first

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@El_Dabrah @tableaupublic @tableau Thank you for the reading content warning 🙏 as always, amazing stuff

@KevinWee90 Spending hours designing a dashboard for the client to ask “how do I export this to excel” 😴

[William Brown @willchamp_]

@jschwabish Oh man! If I had any “journalist” chops, I’d be all over this!
