Really rad labels in Tableau desktop and I love Tableau Software

Hey Dev3lop here, a great Labeling method I use here!

 https://public.tableau.com/profile/tyler.garrett#!/vizhome/FreelanceTableauConsultantSortedBarChartsLabelInsideTopofBar/Noonedoesthis

It's one of my favorite ways to label the bar because no one ever does a reference line and then right-click edit format!



It's pretty hard to click, there's a 4pixel either direction variance at one point until I showed the Tableau product manager - and actually used paint to draw the pixels, saying it was WAY 2 hard.

Now I believe it has a bit more padding. The developer and product management team are so great. Everything I've ever brought up while working there was fixed the next update.

Except buttons being native. That's still a thing.

I designed, mocked up the Start and End being fixed on both sides, and boom next update it was there.

Regardless if it was already in their mind, I sent that to the product manager executive TomW and we chatted about how much of an improvement it would be.

Boom - now it's more accessible and now you can label things better than 90%!

I love tableau software. I'm a freelance Tableau developer.

Trend line - line chart in tableau desktop polynomial

Image
I was worried I couldn't capture  my  experiences. Blogger is the best thing for keep tracking of this growth.  Tableau Developer  - Hello, Tyler Garrett, Founder of  dev3lop.com/t Trend Line's be in Line chart in Tableau Desktop Is so cool, it's a line chart, it's got super curvy octive level usage of stuff! I snuck in this crazy chart into my tableau interview back in the v8.1 days.  Tableau desktop polynomial is a big blurb of bleep bloops and 'flooptdy doops.'  If you took statistics in College, Like I did, the teacher wrote the book.  So I can get past everyone using this and no one asks. That's because they don't know what a trend line does when we are speaking of polynomial degrees.  They don't teach that in art class. Polynomial Degree's Do you know them? And use trendlines? Nice! /kowtow. You don't need to be an expert, just Google it before you show it to the executives or people interviewing you.

Why is Interworks using a Link Scheme to Rank on Google?

Image
I'm pretty much updating my resume after consuming this -- trying to do SEO with a company of this size spamming links is not possible. It's just not going to happen unless Google de-indexes their site for spamming. *shrug https://dev3lop.com/services/austin-seo-experts-austin-seo-consultants/  We do Austin SEO without buying links. I needed to run an experiment. Can I get someone to give me any content publicly? The question is, why is Interworks using a link scheme to rank, I wrote it a month ago. (sept8) and ran the ad yesterday... I'm very done with this because I can beat their spam rank portfolio with legit strategies. me VS interworks Lucky for Interworks they won't lose their rank until someone spams 80k cheap links, or does what I'm doing. Which is not exploiting to rank. Crazy concept. It's already beat everyone and I'm ranking #3 globally. It wasn't hard, interworks exploiting for years made it hard. I don't need to chea
