I thought that is would be interesting to compare Google Analytics to Wordpress Analytics. I expected these platforms would produce nearly identical data. What I found, however, was much different than my expectation. The research for this work will need to continue.
Life is a funny thing. One day you are up, the next day you are down. The only question remaining is this: Will Power BI be able to recover from today’s disaster enough to change my opinion of its value?
Power BI. It even sounds bad to the bone. Over the next couple of days, I’m going to write about Power BI as I learn to use it. I have an open mind, 30 years of Excel experience, and a diverse analytics background. Let the games begin.
If you have ever had an insult thrown in your face, you must read this story. It happened to me and a couple of awesome co-workers about 12 years ago when an audacious and outlandish person we just met suddenly threw direct insults at us like he was throwing darts at a dartboard. Prior to this experience, I never knew people could behave this way.
This is part 3 of 3danim8’s blogging experimental analysis. This article investigates how important speed-burner articles are compared to slow-burners. I can create speed burner articles by writing about Rich Roll, shown above. In contrast to his ultra-endurance performance, these articles fade quickly.
When you present your data to Tableau, it is possible to fool the data interpreter. When this happens to you, you can become frustrated. To learn how to understand and then resolve the problem, just read this article.
Tableau 10 highlighting can be very useful for big data sets. In this example, I show how highlighting quickly reveals differences in consumer behavior by state. Some of the behavioral difference are caused by the geographical settings the consumers live within.
Sometimes my blog is simply my diary. This is one of those articles. This article has nothing to do with Tableau and Alteryx.
I don’t expect anyone to read this because I am writing it for my little dude, Jett!
This is 3danim8 article #200. It took 2 years for me to write the previous 100 articles on the usage of Alteryx plus Tableau. The next 100 articles will go into a deeper exploration of the power of these two tremendous tools to achieve great things.
This article was written in one day in March, 2015, and then forgotten for 1.5 years. Today I revived and revised the manuscript to get this thing out into the blogosphere. One day, I predict, someone will thank me for writing this one.
This story goes back to the 1970’s, the 1990’s, and the 2010’s. It contains references to the famous John Travolta and naming popularity. It is a cool story, at least I think so.
In Part 2 of my blogging experimental analysis, I use Alteryx coupled with Tableau 10 clustering to perform some text analytics. This work answers a single question related to how certain words can improve blog readership rates.
Today I got to experience pure chaos while on the road. This is the type of story that we all believe will not happen to us.
The Grossery Gang is a toy collection that was released this month (July 2016). My 4-yr old son, Jett, is totally mesmerized with this collection. This story is the beginning of our journey with Tableau and the Grossery Gang.
I have had two unexpected infatuations in the past decade. Not with women, but with software companies?!? How crazy is that? As I continue my blogging mission to help myself and others, I was rewarded today in a way I never expected. This article explains what I mean.
