Tableau DoctorYou and all your fellow HETUGersLast year, we made an emergency visit to the Tableau Doctor during our December meeting. We got some really positive feedback about it, and we liked positivity. We've decided that an annual visit to the Tableau Doctor is probably warranted, preventative care and whatnot.
Is there something you’ve been stuck on? A trick you specifically want to learn? Or a tableau public dashboard you’ve always wanted to reverse engineer?
During the meeting the crowd — including you! — will work through these questions together!
If you have some ideas, please Slack @HETUG leads in the #higher_ed_tug


Wrap-up and ChatWe'll close out the meeting with info about our next HETUG meeting, and then open up breakout rooms to chat! (Chat may extend past 4:30pm Eastern.)
