✨ Tips & Tricks - Data Suppression in Tableau ✨

Eric Atchison (Arkansas State University System)

Privacy concerns are ever-present in our work. Eric will walk you through step-by-step how to create simplified data suppression for using a series of equations and discuss data suppression practices.


👷 Under the <Dash/>{"boardwalk":} 🏄

Roshni Gohil (MIT)

Did you know that underneath each Tableau Desktop .twb file, there's XML source code?

Did you know that underneath each Tableau Prep .tfl file, there's JSON source code?

We'll cover some use cases for looking at the source code, how to make sense of the underlying structures in both types of files, and how carefully editing the code (at your own risk; always make a backup first!) can help you update Tableau workbooks and flows more efficiently.


💬 Wrap-up and Chat 💬

We'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.)
