Tableau TUG recordings (English)

Join the Portland Tableau User Group for a practical session with Sekou Tyler on building with AI in Tableau without shipping work that looks like AI built it.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Tableau Agent will spin up a workbook faster than ever, and it shows. Sekou uses AI almost every day when he builds in Tableau, and he is not here to tell you to stop. What he has noticed is that when we ship whatever AI hands us without a closer look, the same patterns keep showing up in our workbooks. Stakeholders pick up on them even when they can't say exactly what feels off.

🎵Welcome🎵
We're going behind the scenes of the CCC data ecosystem, from the dashboards being used inside the Chancellor’s Office to the tools colleges can use to make sure their data is ready to submit.
🔦CO Spotlight🔦
Chris Ozuna and Christian Million (California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office)
Ever wonder what the dashboards look like on the other side of the data submission process? Chris Ozuna and Christian Million give us a peek inside the Chancellor’s Office with a look at internal CO dashboard. They'll also highlight a new dashboard that explores expanded ethnicity data, including changes related to SB 29 and SB 38
📊MIS-chief Managed📊
Lisa Trescott (MiraCosta College)
Before Hogwarts can send its MIS data off to the Chancellor’s Office, someone needs to make sure there’s no mischief hiding in the numbers. Armed with a few powerful Tableau spells (and calculations), Lisa will unveil Hogwarts’ MIS QA Dashboards and demonstrate how to detect suspicious data, investigate discrepancies, and manage the MIS-chief before it escapes the castle and makes its way to the Chancellor’s Office. No Marauder’s Map required!

What is a Vizzie? A Vizzie is an award given by the Tableau community—by people who appreciate beautiful visualizations, understand the depth of analysis behind them, and aren’t easily impressed by superficial tricks.

The Poland Tableau User Group will have the pleasure of welcoming two of this year’s Vizzie winners from our part of Europe: Iaroslava Mizai and Vladislav Horbachenko.

Mini-TUG: Containers & Formatting

Map projections shape how geographic information is represented and interpreted. This 90-minute virtual Data + Maps Tableau User Group event explores the principles behind map projections, the growing conversation around the UN’s “Correct the Map” initiative, and practical approaches for working beyond Tableau’s native Web Mercator projection.

The session brings together map projection fundamentals, Tableau storytelling, and hands-on spatial workflows, including an introduction to QGIS and how it can be used to create custom projected map layers for Tableau.

Community Spotlight: Professor Eric Lacy.

Michael McCusker presents 'From Idea to Extension: Creating Custom Viz Extensions with Claude'

Topic 1: Loupe for Tableau | Understand why KPI changes happen

Speaker: Boris Bakhvalov

Loupe is an AI analyst that lives inside a Tableau dashboard. It does not build vizzes. It answers one question, why did this number change, by querying the real data source, and then says whether the cause is a data-load problem or a real business change, showing the query it ran so a human can check it. In this session we run it live on Tableau Server and the room tries to break it. We will spend as much time on what it gets wrong and where it should refuse to answer as on what it gets right. Bring your hardest dashboard question.

Topic 2: Designing for Speed: Practical Strategies for Faster Tableau Dashboards

Speaker: Ravi Kumar N

Slow dashboard performance is a major barrier to analytics adoption. In this session, we explore key strategies for identifying bottlenecks and accelerating Tableau workbook response times. Attend to discover actionable best practices that you can implement right away to optimize your deployments.
