Bad buttons in Tableau desktop

There's a good way to make buttons in tableau, and there's a bad way to make buttons in Tableau.

The worst way to make a button in Tableau is using a "STRING VALUE"

Hello, I'm Tyler, https://dev3lop.com/tableau-dev3loper


Notice the Bad Button is repeated, over and over and over.

Imagine you do this to a data set with 100 rows of data.

That's a 'Bad Button' written 100 times.

Making buttons in Tableau the right way!


Computers prefer numbers a 1 or 0.

Because you can only have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 and that's the only options for that integer.

With characters. There are a lot more options. The math now makes your machine weak!

So to keep your machine light and like a bee!


Yay, now you see how much unnecessary data that is right?

Think back, to that one workbook, that you did this.

Did you make 50 buttons in one workbook on Tableau Desktop??

Think back, you could be making your workbooks a lot faster! 

Consider a workbook with a lot of buttons in tableau desktop.

What if you had used min(1) instead. Or maybe a data set just for buttons. With 1 record? Get outside of the box!

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 inter...

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...
