I appreciate that. Has a few good ideas recently which have allowed me to practise different techniques and styles. I found it helps to keep things fun for me then I want to push further.

Thanks Tom. I'm really enjoying messing with map layers at the moment.

🚨New #tableau viz 'Playing For Glory'

With 4 teams in with a chance to win the men's six nations tournament and 3 games in one day, how would the table be impacted as the matches played out?

🚨New #tableau viz “Paper Planes”

Finally finished the data project with my son. We built and flew paper planes throughout January and collected the results. Then we built a crazy folding viz for it!

🚨New #tableau viz 'Mission Impossible: The One Sheet Viz'

The Idea: Can I make a whole dashboard in one sheet?

Result: Yes.(Pretty much barring a background, fancy title and animated fuse line)

Should you: Probably not!

I’ve been working on an awesome data project with my 10-year-old son, and it’s been such a blast!

It’s amazing when he gets excited about my work, and building a visualization together has been so much fun.

Can’t wait to share this one—stay tuned! ❤️👨🏻‍🍼

I just created an excel file with some calcs on. Need to wait until I have a bit more data to see if I got them right for the beeswarm though.🤣
Yeah be happy to share. Drop me a message with your email.

I spent a lot of 2024 exercising my brain and pushing myself but my fitness/health slipped a little, 2025 is about focussing on that.

I’ve created this #Tableau tracker to keep myself accountable. Went for movement in this with map layers.

This is a fantastic idea and so great seeing everyone’s thoughts about their #IronViz entries. Fantastic effort from Louis to pull these all together too!

Rob Taylor @trebor-rolyat.bsky.social · Nov 27

Posting one of my older vizzes. This one was special to me as it was based on one of my favourite films growing up. I think this was also my first times using @ladataviz.com beeswarm tool and the data fit the chart type so well.

I love this one Brittany. I can't believe how well the data fit the champagne cork popping vibe. Fantastic. You've smashed it with this one, the colours, the theme, everything.

Get a garden they said, it’ll be fun they said. No, no it won’t be fun, it’ll be loads of effort and never sunny enough to sit out in.🤣🤣

Nahhhh the Easter Egg stuff is the best! Look forward to seeing the final product.

Rob Taylor @trebor-rolyat.bsky.social · Nov 24

Thanks Ben, was watching it with the boy when the idea popped in to my head.

Rob Taylor @trebor-rolyat.bsky.social · Nov 24

Thanks Tom. Not overly insightful, apart from every trap would probably have killed them but lots of fun to build.
