In case anyone was playing around after the first tutorial and forgot how we left off, we had a filter on Platforms: PS, PS2, PS3, PS4. Also, my vertical axis wasn't refreshing so I double clicked the Global Sales vertical axis and changed the Range to update Automatic. This is a great introduction to Tableau, Alex. I had been using Excel to review and analyze accounting data for years, and could never get the graphs to do what I wanted.

Just popping in to say that your videos helped me immensely in creating a path toward gaining the skills that would eventually land me my first job in data analytics. Your series on building a portfolio was probably the most helpful in helping me understand how to transition into this new career. After 7 months of online studies (including learning from your videos!), and nearly 100 job applications later, I was finally offered a job as a marketing analyst. I've been at this role a little over a month, and I still can't believe I get paid to do something so fun. It feels like I'm just solving puzzles all day! I signed up for an Alteryx training the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised and stoked to see you as one of the speakers. Your videos helped me land this job, and now I get to watch your trainings as a part of my job! Thank you for all you're doing for us newbies to the field!

I’m currently taking a business intelligence class and we’re using Tableau to make our final project, so this series is coming out just in time!

I am actually amazed at how flexible Tableau is. Thanks for the series.

[shilpakarra]

This seems a lot interesting. Initially I thought it was going to be difficult understanding how to go about Tableau features, but I am sure your videos are helping me a lot not just with visualisations but with Data Analytics as a whole. I have a small personal project with basic data which I will try on Tableau to get a better understanding. Thank you Alex for the video.

I feel having worked with a similar software during my summer internship is really helping me to pick this back up really fast. Thank you Alex for making concise videos!

I literally used that data set for class project about a year ago 😄

[eduardovaldez-modonese]

Using the same file, my data starts on 1980. But the weird part is that my bins are grouping the amounts per category & totals in a very different way.
You're getting largest amount of sales for 2000-04, for example. I'm getting for 2005-09. Any idea why that might be Alex? Or anyone?

Who says data analysts don't know how to have fun

[willymwangi]

Thank you for your information. At least I have learnt something new today.

[potbeagle]

Does anyone know why his bins start from 1990 even though the range is from 1980-2020? Mines start from 1980
