This viz was inspired by Tableau Community Project Real World Fake Data\u2014a monthly data visualization challenge to practice creating business dashboards across various industries and departments. Viz author Gandes Goldestan belatedly submitted it and it quickly became a favorite proving that you don\u2019t have to participate in Tableau Community Projects in real-time to reap the benefits. What time can you set aside this week to learn something new?<\/li><\/ol>

This shows a progression in your work and employers will see how you have been learning. It\u2019s interesting to note that the most-favorite vizzes of all time on Tableau Public are primarily focused on designing and building business dashboards, learning new data skills, and capturing inspiring examples. While pop culture vizzes are both fun and popular, not a single viz about Marvel, Taylor Swift, or your favorite sport made the top ten. This is not to say those things aren\u2019t popular (because as we know they are) but a good reminder that memorable vizzes on Tableau Public can be both fun and functional. I can\u2019t wait to see what the DataFam creates for the next 8 million vizzes.<\/p> Looking to improve your data skills, get inspired, or grow your career?

This viz was also inspired by a Real World Fake Data Tableau Community Project. Created by 2019 Vizzie recipient and 2021 Iron Viz Champion Pradeep Kumar G, this business dashboard won an “Information is Beautiful Awards” in 2022 in the category for Business Analytics.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viz-5.png\")

Lilla Rasztik built a useful collection of how-to videos and articles from the Tableau Community that not only highlights 35 different chart types and elements\u2014from Arc Sankey to shapes and waffle charts\u2014but also showcases how much people enjoy learning new Tableau techniques on Tableau Public.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tutorial-1024x723.png\")

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are targets that help you measure progress against your most strategic objectives. In this viz, Adam McCann demonstrates 20 different ways to communicate KPIs using Washington DC Crime Data. Because this dashboard is available for download, you can \u201cpeek under the hood\u201d to better understand how each element in it was created, and even update the data to customize it for your own use. If you create something new from it and share it on Tableau Public, don\u2019t forget to leverage the \u201cinspired by\u201d field to credit the original author.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viz5-useforblog-729x1024.jpg\")

Calculated fields allow you to create new data from data that already exists in your data source and can be used to further segment data, find ratios, filter results, and much more. Fuad and Sara created this step-by-step guide for Tableau-related calculations with examples in this handy viz.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Title-Page-1-1.png\")

If you\u2019ve used Tableau Desktop before, you\u2019re probably familiar with the default Superstore sample data set. In this dashboard, Pradeep Kumar G visualizes sales performance using collapsible containers and adeptly showcases the possibilities of a well-designed dashboard.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viz_-1-719x1024.png\")

Kevin Flerlage created this viz to help the Tableau Community learn and be inspired. The Tableau Chart Catalog lists 100 chart types with links to actual visualizations created by 74 unique authors on Tableau Public.<\/li><\/ol>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dkmeco.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/viz9use-721x1024.jpg\"){kind=spacer}

There are so many ways to visualize data. How do we know which one to pick? Inspired by the Financial Time\u2019s Visual Vocabulary, Andy Kriebel created this workbook to help others choose an appropriate chart based on the data relationship they\u2019re trying to show. Leverage it as a starting point for making informative and meaningful data visualizations.<\/li><\/ol>
\u201cCreating a Tableau Public profile had a direct link to getting jobs at both Facebook and The Information Lab. Without Tableau Public, I am sure I wouldn\u2019t have been noticed.<\/p>
Share. Let others download your work so they can reverse-engineer it. Or maybe you\u2019ve created a stunning dashboard that can be used as a template. Help others learn from you.\u201d
Thank you to these 8 amazing Tableau Public authors\u2014along with the 3 million others\u2014who have collectively created over 8 million data visualizations for anyone to search and explore for free on tableaupublic.com.<\/p>
