![]() I decided to finally create a little app to track my Tableau Public viz views. Now that Tableau Public 10 is out with the ability to connect to Google Sheets, I have been doing a lot of experimenting with web scraping and data imports. This helped cure my curiosity but was also practical to see if there were any big moves that weren’t on my radar. But I’m curious! So about once every three or four months, I would go to my Tableau Public profile page and add up the views across all of my visualizations. This seemed practically impossible at the time, but a hit here and a hit there, followed by The Cost of Attending the 2015 World Series – and here it is looking like a reasonable goal! I know, I know (and genuinely believe)… views do not mean everything and popularity definitely doesn’t determine what’s good in this world (I won’t mention any specific “musicians” by name). I think after about my fourth or fifth Tableau Public visualization, I set an arbitrary goal of some day reaching the one million views milestone. This is especially true if you have more than ten or so visualizations to add up. While this is certainly a value-add (is it still called a value-add if it’s already free?), it’s still challenging to calculate the total number of viz views. This can be seen on any Tableau Public profile, but here’s Ryan Sleeper’s Tableau Public page in case you need a visual. Tableau Public has tracked the view count for every viz for as long as I can remember, but this counter was a nice addition that made it much easier to compare the view performance across all of the data visualizations in a portfolio. Within the last couple of years, Tableau Public came out with Tableau Public profile pages and a view counter under each thumbnail in the profile’s portfolio. And the fact that it’s free still blows my mind. Tableau Public is such a great way to learn Tableau, and I credit the product as possibly the biggest contributor to my career thus far.
