Useful Tableau Public Vizzes

Tableau Public is a collection of vizzes that people have built and published on Tableau Cloud. It's an incredibly useful resource for anyone trying to learn Tableau or looking to improve their Tableau skills. It can be used as inspiration, for learning new techniques, and for seeing just how far Tableau can be pushed in creating visualisation art. Highly recommended.

Below are some of the ones I find most useful, and that I return to again and again.

The Financial Times published a chart called the FT Visual Vocabulary Guide that data types you might want to display and the charts that would be best suited to that. Andy Kriebel created a Tableau Dashboard that showed them all in Tableau. See this post for more details.

Jock Mackinlay, now-retired research fellow at Tableau and basically the brains behind the VizQL engine, has published a viz on the history of Tableau features. If you ever wondered when certain functionality was released, you will find it here. There are other vizzes that plot features and release notes, but this is the most comprehensive I’ve seen - going right back to release 1.0

A list of 100 different chart types that can be created in Tableau, curated by Kevin Flerage with links to the original visualiations on Tableau Public. Note: Just because you can create a chart with your data doesn't mean it is the right chart to display your data.

Superstore Dashboard by Priya Padham

I really like Priya's style with this dashboard. It's very clean and minimalist, just the data and nothing that could be distracting. This is a great example of how to create a dashboard that will draw the users attention to the main figures.
