Tableau makes exploring your data easy, but what do you do when that data is locked away behind a web service? Is exporting all of your data the only hope? With Web Data Connectors in Tableau, you can now unlock these sources and bring your precious data into Tableau easily from both internal and external web services. Web Data Connectors let you connect to and refresh web data sources by writing some custom code. In this session we'll walk through how these connectors work, how they integrate with Tableau, and look at some real world examples. We'll even write a simple connector and take you through the steps to build, debug, and share the final connector.

Since June 2011 TGC has been operating in Berlin. During this time, we have grown from 20 employees to roughly 180, and we are still growing. Gone is the time when all decisions can be made from the "belly". "Show me the figures" should be the basis for all of our decisions at TGC, but where do the numbers come from, which numbers are important for whom, and who should you ask beforehand?

How do we change the way we worked with data? Big Bang or inception-style? Thanks to highly motivated analytics teams within different departments, we were able to choose the latter option and build the Tableau-spirit based on multiple small seeds that turned into a big story of revolutionizing the way we see, understand and, most importantly, use data at Lufthansa. Today, you will learn about:

- The first steps we took with Tableau in trying to solve challenges that other tools couldn’t fix

- The way we changed executive decision making at Lufthansa with Tableau

- How we changed the interaction between business and IT

- The lessons we learned and would like to share with you in going forward with your Tableau-adventure

Presented in English.

You've learned about actions and interactivity, but how do you truly implement a 'Guided Analytics' approach?

The primary focus will be on the difficulty of integrating extremely heterogeneous data from multiple sources and showing how we we’re able to visualise this data with tableau. Tableau was an ideal solution to bring this data to life. It helped our company tremendously to gain actionable insights on our campaigns. This talk should demonstrate to the attendees that it is possible to build highly customized dashboards with tableau. Additionally, it should show the attendees the possibility of sharing dashboards with clients through Tableau Server and what obstacles we encountered on our journey so far.

Want to design outside the box? Tableau's Show Me is fabulous but sometimes you need to deliver something more specific. In this session, we will explore the multitude of chart types that are possible in Tableau, but aren't considered "defaults." Come learn how to build a control chart, an interactive calendar, a pareto chart, sparklines, a slope graph and a donut chart (if you must). We will also examine some examples of popular chart types today in various publications, and how we can create them in Tableau.

Tableau supports a number of basic statistical analysis features that can be powerful tools for understanding data. Come and learn about these basic statistical concepts in the context of Tableau, so you can understand your data! The session will also cover how Tableau's built-in forecasting functionality really works;  why does forecasting behave the way it does? How can you change Tableau's forecasting model? Why doesn’t your forecast work? How can you leverage R?

One of the most powerful new features in Tableau is cross-database joins, which gives you two methods of data integration: data blending and cross database joins. In this session, you'll learn advanced data blending techniques, an overview of cross database joins, and the situations where each technique should be used. To get the most out of this session, you should have a basic knowledge of data blending, joins, and basic calculations.

Level of detail expressions (LOD) in Tableau have introduced an abundance of new capabilities for curious data geeks who wish to push the boundaries of Tableau. This session will demonstrate "LODs of fun" techniques, including enabling single member drill down, search across a hierarchy, one-click drill down on maps, market basket analysis, and other filter scenarios.

By the end of this session you'll know how to go under the hood of Tableau and tinker your dashboards for fast, easy, and beautiful performance.

Presented in German.

If it's a mystery to you when to use a calculated field, an LOD expression, or a table calculation, this session will help you sleuth out the right answer. We'll teach you the principles of when to apply which method to a problem. You should have basic experience in table calculations.

From July 2015 to June 2017 we implemented Tableau as the new central BI solution at Media Impact, a Axel Springer company. The project was very successful and the feedback was overwhelming, so Axel Springer decided to implement Tableau for the whole company now. I want to show where and how we started and how we solved all the upcoming problems. I want to show the old world and what we created with Tableau.
