“My certain favourite is SANKEY diagrams that can now be whizzed up in no time at all – without the high data duplication burden that has been needed to get a SANKEY diagram in Tableau to date.” Rachel Lear - Global Supply Chain Director, Data and Analytics
Write BackBy Xpand IT
Image ViewerBy The Information Lab
“With the traditional method of URL actions we faced several limitations. The main one was that only one dynamic image could be configured for a dashboard. We created a profile of entrepreneurs in the charity sector and wanted to dynamically load a photo of their face and an image of their logo on the same page, something we are now able to do with the image viewer extension.” Naledi Hollbruegge, Operation Fistula
