Meet a Community Member

Pete Benbow (Davidson)

Pete is a Power BI power user who will be sharing his journey with data analysis and visualization, and talk a little about the Higher Education Power BI User Group but mostly about what Tableau does better (our words, not his).


Tips & Tricks - Resetting the Dashboard: Actions Unleashed in Tableau

Regina Gonzales (TAMUCC)

Parameter actions can be used for all sorts of things, but did you know you can use them to create reset buttons for complex dashboards with multiple filters? Regina will show, step-by-step, how to improve user experience and enhance data exploration efficiency, all with a little parameter action goodness.

Figma and Tableau

Kevin Wee (Purdue)

What happens when you take Figma, a graphic design tool, and Tableau, a data visualization tool, and smush them together? You get some really great dashboards.

Kevin will share how he uses Figma to design Tableau dashboards, and how it compares with other tools you might already be using to plan your designs, like PowerPoint.
