I saw this Viz on World War I in the Tableau forum and without a doubt, I nominated it for Viz of the Day by sending a message to public@tableau.com on 7/22. In the message, I didn't write anything but the link to the viz. On 7/25, it was selected as the Viz of the Day.

Here I will present an alternative solution to Tableau's Story Points. The main difference is that it can accommodate global filters. This feature has been asked by many users in the Tableau forum. Besides, the formatting option is much limited in Story Points. More have been asked for.

Just wrote a post on back-to-back chart tweaks last week in my #TweakThursday series. This week's #MakeoverMonday project presents a dataset in which we can apply the technique. The idea is to provide back to back comparison at a lower level of details.

Back-to-back bar chart (also called divergent bar chart) is visually appealing and intriguing, I have to admit. Its shape is dynamic, capricious and unpredictable. It may look like a tree, a pyramid, a wave depending on the data set.

Ben Jones of Tableau Software, the author of the book Communicating Data with Tableau, asked me if I can tweak his recent viz on the 50+ goals club of international soccer.

The Viz of the Day on 7/13/2016 is the first one from an author in China that I have ever seen. Although some of the description is in Chinese, the viz is understandable by anyone who knows English.

[First, this is mainly a server feature. You have to publish the viz to the server to see it in action. It doesn't work well on Tableau Desktop.

In 6/28/2016's Viz of the Day, it is charting the China Tea Leaf Index created by Reuters/Thomson, an index that is tracking the Chinese Economy. The index is composed of 10 factors. The formula is a nonlinear calculation.
