Set Actions: Range Comparisons

Interaction with data in Tableau moved to another level, when Tableau team integrated 'Set Actions'. 

Selection of sets might be applied in:
  • Viz (color, shape, sort, group), 
  • Set (filter on a related field, group by a related field)
  • Calculations (filter a measure by a selection, using the set as a condition). 
Setting action lets you:
  • Сreate your own range comparison depending on the selected values in the context
  • Find items that are related to selected values in category instead of keeping only the items that exactly match (as in case of filters)
It is not the whole list of advantages, but here I'd like to bring your attention on one of the most attractive use case - dynamic range comparison depending on selected sets:



The main idea of this dashboard is to show how countries are involved in the digitalization process and who are the absolute leaders by the speed. User can deep dive into a certain time frame to understand whether the situation has changed regarding the absolute growth leaders or there might be some changes. 

The main concept based on which dynamic range was implemented there was a creation a couple of calcs with 2 sets and calculates all the rest metrics in dashboards taking into account 2 selected periods. You can download tableau workbook to find more details.

About data: "DESI (Digital Economy and Society Index) is a composite index that summarises relevant indicators on Europe's digital performance and tracks the evolution of EU member states in digital competitiveness." 
Index DESI defines based on five indicators:
  • Connectivity
  • Human Capital
  • Use of Internet
  • Integration of Digital Technology
  • Digital Public Services

Performance Troubleshooting: Tabular Model in Power BI

For the last 2 years, I have been using Power BI as one of the core tools to provide different data insights for the top management.  Together with my great team, I was constantly improving our key reporting tools. As in a classical way we were facing problems with the performance. The rising complexity reflects on the user's response and on the stability of report updates. The Tabular model allows boosting both the performance and the speed of development of massive reports with complicated data models and too many DAX.   Let us consider the use case and different ways of improving report performance including usage of the Tabular model.

Transforming data into action in Healthcare sector

Transforming data into action allows to save the lives of people. Occasionally a simple report that you can do by a couple of hours can become a powerfull tool for raising important problems and determining the course of action. So it happened with the malaria's data by Zambia. I can not turn a blind eye to the world's problem (especially when it's related to the life of children) so I've decided to create a report. The more we talk about it, the more chance to draw attention to this problem - there is more chance to save children's lives and hope for the future.  Data analysis is a sort of journalistic investigation in the course of which you can find a lot of interesting facts. This topic is not an exception and that's what I've find out: Eight visionary companies created a stack of technology solutions that allowed health workers  quickly access reliable data and make informed decisions  Since 2014 malaria starts rapidly decrease aft...
