How to find our latest recordings


(Always) Recruiting New Query Developers

  • The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.


Demonstration of Tableau Prep BuilderAngela

Angela will give a fairly casual demonstration of using Tableau Prep Builder as a no-SQL data processing workflow solution

(Note: Tableau Prep Builder is not a free tool. It is available for anyone with a Tableau Creator license. For institutions with access to a Tableau server, it may be possible to publish data processing flows to the server and schedule them to run at regular intervals, which is relevant for institutions looking for ways to automate certain types of reports and dashboard updates.)
