once again after another #severance episode i am left with more questions than answers to stew on for a whole week (complimentary)

C meeting isn't even over yet and my brain is checked out.

This occurred to me while i was straight-up eating olives from the package. I'm sorry.

✨New blog post! Make your text tables on dashboards shine with an easy, interactive, custom sort order feature. ✨ sarahpallett.com/index.php/20... #Tableau #DataFam

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Couldn't let #BHM2025 go by without creating at least one Black History viz. Link: public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Which fields for this year's #Tableau Conference Step Tracker should stay? Which ones should go? Let me know through the form (forms.gle/L7af3VrHctTB...) and I'll send you a reminder when the project is live. Note: I am planning on nuking the twitter field as I can't in good conscience promote it.

📊 dataviz question - what are your favorite alternate ways to color against a goal? i feel like most common or "best practice" is on either met/unmet, over/under. but I think in some cases a) it's boring b) it doesn't allow for nuance (aka when goal not met != failure). examples appreciated!

Regular reminder that if you register with this feed and add the emoji 📊 to your posts, they will appear in the feed, reaching a wider dataviz audience and making Bluesky better for the dataviz community.
