Iron Viz (2021) reaction Livestream - Tableau Conference 2021
We're back for round two of Iron Viz, and this time nothing is going to go wrong, mainly because I've disabled the backup that nuked yesterday's stream.
- Iron Viz runs through two judging rounds before the final three reach the stage, and the finalists are scored on analysis, design and storytelling, with 90 points from judges and 10 from audience voting.
- Much of an Iron Viz build's calculation work is done ahead of time in Tableau Prep and through named, pre-built fields, so the 20-minute live build is about assembly and design speed rather than writing logic from scratch.
- Practical design tricks on show included using reference lines purely to position labels neatly, naming images to match show/hide container buttons, and using worksheet captions instead of text boxes for fast on-canvas text.
- Recording or streaming a bright, all-white viz is risky because compression and screen brightness can crush contrast, so you should tweak builds to hold up on whatever screen the audience is viewing.
- Floating layouts and stacked show/hide containers enable the concertina-style dig-in dashboards, but they're really a workaround for the missing Photoshop-style layers and snapping grid many designers want in Tableau.

0:00PG-13 only. I think we're now live so let's
0:04see. It takes a little while for the stream
0:06to kick in
0:07but for everyone watching, welcome. We'll
0:11see. Yeah we're live. Cool. So I'll mute it
0:15so
0:15you don't hit myself on the stream. We're
0:18back for round two. Thank you everyone who
0:20's joining us today.
0:21Got eight of you already online. And the
0:25great thing is this time nothing is going
0:29to go wrong.
0:30Of course. So fun fact for anyone who was
0:33watching yesterday, I reckon what was going
0:36on is Backblaze
0:37decided to do a backup exactly on the hour.
0:39Backblaze is just a software, backup
0:42software
0:42essentially. It backs up your laptop to the
0:44cloud basically and I think that's what
0:46decided to go
0:47off exactly on the hour which is when the
0:49stream started, which the keynote started
0:51and it went
0:52off again. So yeah. We're back. We're back.
0:57I've been told explicitly not to swear.
1:01Just as we went on there, Tim was like don
1:04't swear. Oh god. It's like Divina on Big
1:07Brother.
1:08Exactly. Now let's get the tweets out. You
1:12are live and please do not swear. Hey
1:14everyone joining.
1:16Same as yesterday. Unless everyone is the
1:18same, drop in where you're tuning in from.
1:20I'm super excited for Iron Viz this year.
1:25Purely because it's like, like, prodeeps my
1:30like, a propress of nothing. I've been hyp
1:34ing this guy for years and I've been loving
1:37his stuff so
1:38it's so good to see him on stage. Who else
1:41we got in there as well? Sam Parsons.
1:46Sam Parsons, of course. Mr Data is
1:48Beautiful himself. Man on my heart with
1:52that Marvel Viz.
1:53New game. Get Ravi to swear. Oh man. It's
1:58too easy. It would be too easy.
2:00But no, I'm gonna be on my best behavior.
2:05Hey Anna. Hey Greg. How are we doing?
2:10Yeah, it's a good lineup this year. Sam
2:14Parsons and then I forget the third person
2:17thing which
2:17is really bad. We'll get there. I'm getting
2:28the page up now. I wonder if it's live live
2:31or if it's recorded. I think it's live. My
2:33hunch is it's actually live. Oh you see Sam
2:37sent out
2:38a tweet and I wasn't sure if he was, you're
2:40saying I hope my internet connection stays
2:42up for the
2:43next hour or two hours and I was like, is
2:45that because you're streaming or is that
2:47because you're
2:48building the hype to make it sound like you
2:50're streaming? I think it's hype. So the
2:51reason I
2:52say I think it's hype is the teaser trailer
2:55for TC from two days ago had them building
2:57their Vizs
2:58in there. Oh who made that? Like, why is
3:02that in there? That's like a Marvel trailer
3:05that spoils
3:06something in the movie. And then that clip
3:10doesn't turn up in a Marvel movie.
3:12Just threw them some renders from things
3:17that were cut out. Yeah.
3:19So I think they've got three different
3:22endings and then they've also got the live
3:27voting. So
3:27their live only accounts for this evening.
3:30Okay, that's why you need the internet
3:32connection right?
3:33Because you don't want to miss out. Yeah
3:35exactly, exactly. Good work. Has anyone
3:38that's joined not
3:39been to Iron Viz before? Not really sure of
3:41the format. Maybe you should do a bit of
3:43an explainer for anyone that hasn't. Yeah,
3:46yeah why not. Hasn't tuned in before. So
3:47let's see
3:48if I can bring it up on screen. Iron Viz,
3:50let's do it over here actually. So while
3:54Tim's doing that
3:54I'll give the background of why it's called
3:56Iron Viz. Apparently there's an American
3:58show called
3:59Iron Chef which is I think it's the
4:02equivalent of Ready Steady Cook, right?
4:05Exactly, exactly. So if
4:07I do this like this. So yeah here's the
4:10website. Essentially there's some feed
4:13arounds and because
4:14of Covid I think what they decided to do is
4:16just to sell everyone look just Viz what
4:18makes you
4:19happy. Okay and basically a whole bunch of
4:21people get involved, take part. I think it
4:24was over 300
4:26entries this year which was incredible. One
4:28of the highest number of entries in a long
4:30while. And
4:31once those Vizs are submitted we go through
4:34to two judging stages. The first one
4:37essentially has a
4:38pool of judges from Tableau, the community
4:40and people who've judged in the past
4:41including Iron
4:42Viz winners. The second round has a smaller
4:45group of about four to five judges who are
4:47now judging
4:48the final top 10 to pick the final three.
4:50So the two rounds of judging are basically
4:53judging first
4:54round judges all the Vizs, second round
4:56judges the top 10 from that first round and
4:59then that final
4:59round the top three go through to this
5:01competition. And then once you're here on
5:04the stream essentially
5:05what ends up happening is there's a
5:07competition and that's what we typically
5:08watch at conference
5:09except for with a remote conference that's
5:11not been possible. So I think what they do
5:13is they
5:14pre-record each contestant building their
5:17Viz in a sort of time restricted window but
5:19they don't
5:20actually know who's won and the live voting
5:22kicks in here when we all vote on Twitter
5:25or so on and
5:27yeah that pretty much carries through to
5:29who the winner is and we find out. So that
5:32's a very sort
5:33of quick rundown. Check out the website if
5:35you just google Iron Viz you can find out
5:37everything
5:37about it. You can see the finalists here so
5:39Sam Parsons is the first finalist, you've
5:42got Prodeep
5:43Kumar and Lisa Trescot. I was actually
5:45really fortunate to have judged all three
5:48of these and
5:49they were sensational. The one that
5:51surprised me the most was Lisa's because I
5:53learned so much
5:54about RuPaul's Drag Race, it was
5:56unbelievable. RuPaul is great. So I really
6:00love this Viz,
6:01I thought it was really nicely done, really
6:03good work there. So yeah these are the
6:05three finalists
6:05we're going to be watching today go head to
6:07head and it's just going to be exciting I
6:08think.
6:08Yeah so I had two of these three in my
6:11judging round as well so I was also a judge
6:14for
6:15Iron Viz. I genuinely enjoyed Prodeep so
6:19much and it was it like there were so many
6:22good entries
6:22right like there was a fountain, a fountain
6:25of entries and they were all so good. I'm
6:29sure
6:30I think it was so difficult yeah. I think
6:34one of them has music I think as well.
6:38Yeah exactly. I'm pretty sure at the bottom
6:42it has some music so I'll just scroll
6:44through these
6:45quickly. I'd actually recommend you just
6:48spend some time. Exactly I'll put these in
6:51the comments
6:51as well so people can check them out. So
6:54this one is the first one yeah that's Sam's
6:58. I should
6:58really say Who's is Which but nonetheless I
7:01'll put it in here as well. Yeah and then
7:03the last one
7:04is Prodeep's. So what's fun is off the back
7:09of seeing Prodeep's visualization I started
7:14watching it but it's great. It's all on
7:17Netflix. It's a great TV show. It's Andy.
7:20Because I was intrigued to see because I've
7:22heard hype for so long and it's a good
7:26little show.
7:27Only two or three seasons as well so worth
7:29a binge. But no there were so many great
7:33entries
7:33this year. It was the tagline you can learn
7:38or lose learn or was it oh man I've
7:42forgotten the tagline.
7:43I caught you nearly about to swear.
7:45Yeah learn or win you can't lose right
7:54because what's great about something like
7:59this is it
8:00allows you to be free and I think you know
8:02visiting what makes you happy is such a
8:04great topic to visualize. It doesn't
8:07segment you in any way because it's such a
8:09personal thing and
8:10anything that's possible allows you to
8:12express your passion which is I think what
8:14wow three finalists did as well. So you
8:16know super excited to see what they do.
8:19Let me add this to the screen.
8:21Win or learn you can't lose. This question
8:27from Anna. Do you think I envis submissions
8:29should be
8:29done solely in Tableau or can people use
8:32other design tools? Well I think I don't
8:36think you can
8:36be stopped from doing this in any other
8:38tool. I just don't think Tableau is going
8:39to have you
8:40on stage using Power BI or Figma. You don't
8:43get to help out into Figma and get an
8:45element right.
8:46Yeah exactly so the genesis of iInvis has
8:49always been about showcasing what you can
8:52do in a short
8:52amount of time. What I think is a more
8:54interesting question to sort of follow on
8:56from your question
8:57Anna is how much of the Tableau platform
8:59can you fit in iInvis right? Will there be
9:02a prep flow
9:03iInvis right? Here's a data set, here's a
9:04finish. This is what the Altrix Grand Prix
9:06basically is
9:07right? I'd love to see a prep Grand Prix.
9:09Just steal the name from Altrix and just
9:11get straight
9:12there. Let's do a Tableau prep Grand Prix.
9:15Let's do it. We could do this.
9:18iIn prep just makes it sound like you're
9:21ironing your clothes before you're going
9:23out.
9:23I think iron chef is fine. You're bringing
9:27all these recipes of tools together,
9:29spinning them
9:29out and doing amazing things. I'm sure
9:31people out there are much better at puns
9:32than we are so we'll
9:33stop there. Yeah exactly that. So Mark's
9:41asked a good question. Let me
9:43give a crack at my response to Anna's
9:45question.
9:45So on Anna's question, my quick thing is
9:52it's absolutely fine in my eyes because you
9:56sort of I think through the judging process
10:02because it's not just focused on design and
10:05storytelling, it's design analysis,
10:08storytelling as a whole and it's very much
10:11those three pillars that you're judging on.
10:14So I think whilst there can be the argument
10:17made of yeah but you know if you're very
10:19proficient
10:20at using something like Figma you might
10:22make it visually appealing but this is part
10:24of what
10:24makes a great visual. It's not just what I
10:27would love which is the one child is but
10:31you know
10:31the ability to create a canvas and tell a
10:33story using visualizations which is part of
10:36the entire
10:37beauty of Tablo right there is no right or
10:39wrong way of doing things there's just
10:41opinions and you
10:42know it's okay to have a different opinion.
10:45I've written a blog post about how I hate
10:48long form
10:48visitors but it's okay because I think what
10:52Sam's one was a horizontal one. I really
10:55liked Pradeep's
10:55long one and I think as you said the RuPaul
10:58one is similarly it's got the sections
11:00within it.
11:01I think Alex Jones last year had a similar
11:03section vis. He's Shim as well a couple of
11:05years ago.
11:06Yeah so good shout. Okay what about Mark's
11:10question? Yeah explain on prepared table
11:14calcs right so this blew up a couple years
11:18ago when on stage people had pre-prepared
11:21long calculated fields that they're copy
11:23and pasting it and it's like how hold on a
11:25second
11:26hold on a second if you can just copy and
11:28paste calcs and not have to write an LOD on
11:30the floor.
11:30How is this the real thing? Yeah how is
11:32this the real thing? I think again there
11:37was a bit of back
11:37and forth on that right is it is it fair is
11:40it is it the correct way and I think you
11:43have to look
11:43at it too is on one hand it's a really
11:45great advert for how great and quickly you
11:48can build
11:49with Tablo but creating calculated field
11:51isn't the essence of why we love this tool
11:54the reason why we
11:55love this tool is exploring data and be
11:56able to visualize and ask and answer
11:58questions quickly.
11:59So after a bit of chatting I spoke to Louis
12:01Archer straight after the thing was TC
12:04Berlin.
12:04So yeah it was like well you can do it one
12:09way you can do it the other way but
12:13ultimately it's
12:14about the show right the entire pub is that
12:16this is a flamboyant show where you can do
12:19things so
12:20I don't know what your thoughts are on what
12:23was it Notepadgate. Notepadgate what I will
12:26say is
12:26people were blown away by how people were
12:29using Notepadgate that's the first thing
12:32let's just be
12:32clear everyone went whoa when they saw
12:34people copying and pasting sections from
12:36calculations
12:37ad hoc calculations left right and center
12:39that blew people's minds so we all learned
12:41something
12:41from that as much as people maybe hated it.
12:44The other thing is the point of the show is
12:46to show
12:47you how quickly you can do something yeah
12:49if as long as you've got the idea in your
12:51mind how
12:51quickly can you make it happen can the tool
12:54work as quick as you can think so if you
12:56could just get
12:56rid of the sort of human limitation of how
12:59quickly can you think how fast can the tool
13:02actually make
13:02you do this thing and you saw it in 30
13:04minutes as long as you've got everything in
13:06your head you've
13:07got to figure it out 20 even you can do it
13:09the tool works at the pace that you can
13:11think and I
13:12think that's the main essence of what they
13:14're trying to showcase so yeah so Sean makes
13:18you
13:18the point if let's bring his tweet up which
13:20is about you know why not have them going
13:23blind and
13:23get builders three topics or data set I
13:25think this right I've seen Cockreave do
13:27this in like a
13:29BI bake-off which is really good which is
13:33again the concept of you're actually going
13:37in and
13:37comparing three different tools in the same
13:40box of time and it's very much a because
13:43you can doesn't
13:43mean you should but also again the show
13:46element you don't want to see three people
13:48all being like
13:49oh god hang on hang on hang on hang on
13:51there's 20 000 people out there and I've
13:54blanked on whether
13:55I need to use a fixed or an exclude in this
13:58case right yeah yes yes it could be really
14:01great and
14:02yes you could get I think what would be
14:04even better is almost a live build and I
14:06think we've
14:06seen that in past TCs where you've got this
14:09there's a lot of biz with me or some
14:11similar
14:12sessions where you have people just
14:13building in a session showing what's
14:15possible awesome
14:18I think the other one I wanted to flag up
14:20was Steve's point about long form during
14:24iron viz
14:24season I think yes and no I think you'll
14:26see them more because they're all over
14:28Twitter right
14:29but I've definitely seen long form business
14:32all through the year yeah now on the flip
14:35side I agree
14:35with you because I in my anti-long form
14:38blog post I said the reason people add in
14:40an additional
14:41thousand pixels is to give them room to add
14:44more juice to their story right right right
14:47yeah and that makes sense that's a trick in
14:50itself interesting lots of interesting uh
14:55comments in the chat uh leek is saying I'd
14:58say tableau is somehow like photoshop you
15:00could easily
15:01achieve some basic stuff with paint but
15:03photoshop enables you to do everything yeah
15:06exactly it's
15:07it's uh I think uh Tom uh your former boss
15:10my current boss used to say tableau gives
15:12you
15:13superhuman powers as he always says right
15:15you could do stuff with data that just just
15:18just
15:18couldn't do in any other way right um yeah
15:21so I absolutely love that cool let's get
15:24the stream
15:25ready it is ready it is ready it's on my
15:28other screen and uh um so I've got it up
15:31here this is
15:32this is I think the view we're going to
15:34settle with I'm going to keep the comments
15:36coming up
15:36here I think what I need to do is I need to
15:38keep it running uh so that it keeps the
15:41comments on both
15:42uh chats so that we don't lose the chance
15:45yeah so from now on all the comments will
15:48come up over
15:48here as well in the middle or on the left
15:51just to the left of me essentially
15:53underneath where it
15:54says 9am uh p2 so I think that's a good
15:57place because um I think this does need the
15:59comments
16:00it's someplace right like I couldn't I
16:02couldn't figure out I want to see the hype
16:04right I want to
16:04see the hype that people do stuff and like
16:06yeah people will see stuff that we miss
16:09exactly and
16:10we've got the dj horn as well uh if you
16:12heard that yesterday um you'd have loved it
16:16as well so for
16:17road level security what is lens um lem are
16:22you talking about uh our state lenses or uh
16:27just uh
16:28there are lenses in other parts of sales
16:30force so I'm not sure what you're asking
16:33there at gsr let
16:34us know thanks for the good luck um nishant
16:36we might need it after yesterday
16:38so funny fact uh just before the stream
16:42starts I think what happened yesterday is
16:46that I had a back
16:46blaze uh backup run exactly on the hour
16:49which I've disabled so the fact we're still
16:51okay now means I
16:52think we're good yeah so I agree with you
16:55there tar I think oh here we go right I'm
16:59gonna stop talking
17:00I might have to turn this down before I get
17:05dmca'd
17:06I'm sure it's fine I'm sure it's fine
17:11because there's a tablet production I'm
17:14I'm sure it's not so yeah if you're
17:19listening to this I've turned the
17:20um audio down for the stream so you can't
17:23hear it
17:24mark I appreciate your uh your confidence
17:32you should have seen my obs game yesterday
17:41and it's not actually obs that's why I ran
17:43away from obs it was too intimidating
17:45I'm using something called ecamm live
17:50yeah so I think we're good I think we
18:05should be good to tell the volume on this
18:07one too
18:07cool I'll put it up a bit yeah yeah
18:16I don't know how's everyone feeling about
18:24this I feel like I'm not American enough to

20:35here someone's gonna do it surely
20:42queen pong apparently is what we need to
20:54look out for yeah yeah yeah
21:03I'm gonna be cooking up on screen
21:05presentations that combine analysis design
21:09and storytelling

31:06hashtag
31:06now contestants you have 20 minutes to get
31:11your builds done time here we go here we go
31:16five four three two one
31:21great timing here we go right first thing
31:27you do calculations right here's
31:32calculations so
31:35you kind of see pradeep's first starting to
31:38build out his preferences oh hello someone
31:41's building a
31:42preference file she is quite uh dbs um that
31:48's superb oh god that he every year it just
31:51goes
31:51crazy and crazy and crazy that's great for
31:53those it's a strong star preferences file
31:56you can store
31:57custom palettes or use every time you open
31:59tablobes future context as well i love it
32:02yeah
32:02i was about to go into one of his other
32:04optimization techniques uh to kind of get
32:07the image
32:07she first had a text box in mind but then
32:09that it's a little tough to see the detail
32:11of the
32:11screen right this is just me it's not it's
32:13not he has no text boxes it's just really
32:16bright
32:16um so logarithmic scale for what appears
32:24the rank of artists uh is that a good
32:29choice interesting
32:31yeah we completely missed everything she
32:33did at the start that's so much yeah
32:36because it's
32:36hopping between obviously when you're live
32:39you see three screens at once yeah yeah
32:41exactly
32:41you kind of get that friction of being
32:44tossed around otherwise it'll just be like
32:47a flat line
32:47at the bottom interesting yeah if anyone
32:50hasn't hasn't read anything jock mckinley's
32:52done like
32:53he's got some great content over the years
32:56and also if you find a great like louie ar
32:58cher showed
32:58me a great picture of jock from when he was
33:00younger wow just find that picture and
33:03enjoy it
33:04it's fantastic you'll see on this fizz and
33:06on other business is that a lot of her
33:08marks are
33:08in white i think i think your features very
33:10much on someone's uh table
33:12i think it's gonna come very soon so what
33:18we got here we've got some tool tipping
33:22yeah um
33:23oh i i tuned that for this is going to be a
33:26dark back dash dark dashboard and the
33:28darkness will be
33:29built into the dashboard towards the end of
33:31the world is that right dropping in the
33:32shapes in now
33:33as well right exactly over to sam so many
33:37data t-shirts oh we have this again being
33:41set up here
33:42i'm curious why some are fully labeled or
33:46some would just get a letter curious to see
33:49how that'll
33:49be used in the final product this is why i
33:52love i'm vis we get you know there's a
33:55fully labeled
33:57where some would just get a letter curious
33:59to see how that'll be used in the final
34:01product
34:01i think that was a stream not me this is
34:03why i love i'm vis we get you know there's
34:05a feature
34:06like parameters about choosing data and
34:09then advanced users can find ways to take
34:12that power
34:13and hack it to do something else it's
34:15really great to see the power they bring in
34:18yeah so
34:18most of the calculations for this build
34:20have actually been done in prep which is
34:22saving a
34:23lot of time and also means that um they don
34:25't calculations done in practice just a
34:27couple
34:28um that he's bringing now that he will use
34:31um i wonder if that's the actual row level
34:34yeah well it's just has he named all the
34:37the variables so he knows exactly which
34:41ones to drag
34:42interesting i mean that speeds up and stops
34:47you going to copy and paste it what would
34:49be really
34:49cool is if they did videos of the process
34:51that we haven't seen after the conference
34:54right so yeah
34:55exactly after the whole thing yeah yeah i
34:58hope they have why not write the heck there
35:00's an idea
35:01for you to zoom in on the specific color it
35:04's good don't forget everybody wants to
35:07build and
35:08the presentations are over that's when you
35:10get the chance to text in your vote for the
35:12i'm this
35:12champion see if there was like defaults you
35:15could set before you open up tableau yeah
35:18like in a
35:19profile there for example um that can
35:23follow you around uh i'm really curious
35:26profile
35:26i'm definitely looking for the story out of
35:31all the judges i'm very interested in uh is
35:36there a
35:36clear question being asked interesting
35:39insight wait in the chat and live telling
35:43the narrative
35:45is it clear look at pretty it's coming
35:47together who looks at this biz what the
35:49story is this
35:50looks like the hessian technique the
35:52balloons yeah should i see your face the he
35:54ssian technique
35:54yeah well we uh clearly have some data dens
35:58ification going on i'm curious to see
36:01what he's doing with these so and it's also
36:03your question there is a bit of data prep
36:05prior
36:06up to um in tableau prep for some of them
36:08sometimes it's the calculations are pretty
36:10good but they've got to put it all together
36:12live in 20 minutes if that makes sense
36:14making
36:15a dandelion chart is that what that is the
36:18data set is called and in line chart uh it
36:22could be
36:22i've always wanted to run a competition uh
36:26alex confirming alex uh was in the
36:28competition chart
36:29type so yeah that's how he knows for an
36:31interesting insight goes on behind the
36:34scenes also to find out
36:35what the most pun related names that
36:37vaguely look like the chart at hand very
36:40matter let us know
36:41on social media if you think that's a good
36:43idea or not all right so so wouldn't it be
36:48cool guys
36:48if you can make a custom chart type without
36:52a data set it would be amazing when it
36:56looks like
36:57there's going to be some kind of animation
36:59in here traditionally that's been really
37:01exciting to see
37:04we haven't had animations i appreciate how
37:06with the match no well no christian um is
37:10to allow the
37:11user to zoom yeah interesting one so
37:13because he did his movements oh true true
37:17true and there was
37:19a thing like oh yeah just use pages and you
37:21win that was again the i love these myths
37:24that come
37:25out of iron viz yeah once it's finished
37:27there are trends that stick uh because of
37:29iron viz right like
37:30wow we call that line technique of the hess
37:33ian like when he did yeah exactly i just
37:35couldn't
37:35stop seeing that every week on public it
37:37was such a good story as well like he's
37:39just like
37:40around the world including the audience so
37:43part of it yeah josh absolutely this is the
37:45whole point
37:46of iron viz you should be surprised and
37:47even more surprised how quickly they're
37:49doing it as well
37:50splitting out each of these worksheets so
37:52that there's one worksheet per artist
37:55animations
37:56i'm supposed to keep this competition i
37:58think it's a very interesting choice
38:00now let's move to sam see what progress he
38:02's made over the last few minutes let's take
38:05a look
38:05hey
38:11what is going on here building here oh i'm
38:18seeing heavy so this could be like a middle
38:21bit which
38:22this could be like the middle bit of like a
38:23three-part viz that you're connecting them
38:25together with a tile right exactly exactly
38:27the ultimate view would be to have a stream
38:31for each contestant as well
38:33got a lot going on here yeah lots of line
38:38charts interesting whoa yeah he's reversed
38:43the access
38:44i'm assuming what we're going to see is
38:45rain over time here and there's i always
38:47call this the noise
38:48before the storm i think he's got yeah you
38:50don't know what it is and then when it
38:52clears up
38:53everyone's like what i get it so it might
38:55be like the top 100 at the top and that's
38:57why
38:58there's so the the z's here i wonder if he
39:02's using z's for these calculations maybe
39:04extended
39:06just because that'll allow you to like be
39:08quite dynamic on what's selected yeah when
39:10he's telling
39:11the story those to tell some sort of story
39:14there in terms of a rise to the fame oh you
39:17can see one
39:18line kind of all the way through yeah that
39:21's really cool told you now that it is it's
39:24a great
39:25it's a great use of color right yeah it is
39:27it is not as much as the foregrounding
39:28backgrounding
39:30highlighting doing with this color choice
39:32here my guess is we're going to get a dark
39:35background with
39:36this sort of lighter black lines that will
39:38fade in the background with that blue line
39:41sort of popping
39:42out love these subtitles yeah keyboard
39:46camera proper stream stuff that is
39:50unbelievable i notice
39:52he must have recorded that himself command
39:54buttons option there on the tool yeah yeah
39:57that's useful whoever's editing obviously
39:58doesn't appreciate it because it removes
40:02the slightly
40:03confusingly see the next the second thing
40:05the second thing i love about iron viz is
40:07you get
40:07to notice like the little tricks people do
40:11yeah to make something pop exactly you know
40:14spending time
40:14on tool tips spending time on adding sub
40:16headers i noticed earlier but i like to
40:18call out i like
40:18that parameters using pronouns in line
40:21versus terms like male female i really like
40:24that he's
40:24using that designation to to group
40:26excellent focus on diversity i think that
40:28was something we actually
40:30had been looking at quite closely the data
40:33set had both gender and pronouns uh but we
40:35've done
40:36a bit of research actually the august thing
40:37he must pointed us towards to certain
40:39resources we
40:40realized that um there is being a move
40:42towards grown up in the museum that's
40:44certainly something
40:45big win um if you haven't heard about it
40:47already check out the tabulate do you know
40:49harm guide
40:50that goes into stuff like this in a really
40:52sort of simple accessible way very easy to
40:54digest
40:55and it's good to see pretty putting the
40:57skills he's actually just using the
40:58reference line so
41:00that those labels look much clearer uh it's
41:03a trick that i know so this is a great
41:05trick
41:06so i remember i did a i did a dashboard
41:10that was like a kpi dashboard which of
41:14course had about
41:1520 different kpis or just eyes i guess that
41:18we're just adding a reference line just to
41:21have the
41:21label to the right just because it doesn't
41:23center or give enough room halfway just 10
41:27minutes
41:29now remember as you guys are watching the
41:31build if you've got i'm loving the colors
41:33don't forget to look i love the retro music
41:36it's mad at me of tron
41:37for sure such a great soundtrack
41:42another one of these all white visits where
41:45she just has to hope that it's
41:48actually right i hope we don't get to 19
41:51minutes and 45 seconds brave that the marks
41:55are incorrect
41:56and we have to start that sheet again yeah
42:00we could not be quicker to build in dark
42:03and then
42:03flip it the other way like building because
42:06tableau formatting is not that easy because
42:08you have to change the uh sheet background
42:11then you have to invert the text those
42:13things aren't
42:14in the same place right if you had a star
42:15sheet though you could easily do that you
42:18could just
42:18flip the star sheet boom boom boom done
42:20which could be a great little accelerator
42:22yeah and then
42:23you could save that in your profile there
42:28thank you um bring up mark's mark's twitter
42:33message
42:34there because that's i think that's yes we
42:37're seeing some great stuff here already don
42:39't forget
42:40to keep an eye out i've been using the
42:41latest version down that number to text no
42:43because the
42:44copy and paste is going to be in beta right
42:462021.4 yeah so which is an hour to see oh
42:51sorry i did i
42:51missed the point he said 2022 sorry i'm a
42:54bit slow over here i love this part this is
42:57where
42:57she starts putting everything onto her
42:59dashboard and you can really see it's
43:01coming to life now
43:02i like the um so this is all floating so
43:05again tard all floating
43:08don't get me started in the layout pane so
43:14save a right click for the record i hate
43:17flater dashboards but i keep my mouth stum
43:21but but on this one it works because you've
43:24got the
43:24different layers i think we talked about i
43:26think there was a there was always talk
43:28about dashboard
43:28layers being right right right it is it
43:31tends to be used as a design technique that
43:34's the problem
43:34we shouldn't have to do that just get rid
43:37of your bi user you don't really care about
43:40get rid of
43:41containers give us layers like in photoshop
43:44or any other design tool give us a grid and
43:47we're done a
43:48grid that snaps not just the grid that
43:50turns up and grouping like i think the
43:52grouping and anchoring
43:53yeah yeah a horizon chart maybe for those
44:02new to iron vis uh we let contestants write
44:06their text
44:07beforehand i hate legends i hope tablo derv
44:11s watch this and take copious notes like how
44:15could we make
44:15this 10 minutes for this contestant right
44:18like just watch this pick it apart and just
44:21like oh
44:21my gosh you know the color legend as well
44:24maybe we should do a viz percentage of time
44:26spent doing
44:27certain activity during iron viz we'd need
44:30all the different streams but um we get an
44:32interesting
44:33sort of way to see where do people spend
44:35most of their time and i bet you it's
44:37formatting
44:38i'm always wondering like how much
44:40performance do you lose when you're
44:43building like contestants
44:45because in what sense there's so much more
44:47being written into cash as you explore a
44:49new build oh
44:50like exploring speed you up yeah as the
44:53build goes on it depends what your habit is
44:56i tend to open a
44:57workbook go to the grid view and then right
45:01click refresh all thumbnails yeah so when
45:04you then go to
45:04the dashboards they're all zippy and fast
45:09and everything's in memory but if you've
45:09not got a
45:09little memory that's a bad idea which is
45:11called the high chill container basically
45:14what it allows
45:14having show hide containers i'm intrigued
45:16to see how this is used i feel like it's
45:18gonna we're
45:19gonna get a lot of like dig in dig out
45:20which is gonna be quite cool if it's that
45:22concertina style
45:25very delicate activity the thing is it
45:29looks like hoodoo right all we're seeing
45:31now is someone
45:31dragging boxes around the place right this
45:34is how we know they're a true container
45:37master right
45:38when i see someone command containers like
45:42this i just sit back and i'm just like
45:44this person has what they're doing love it
45:48more containers than the chinese takeaway
45:52am i right
45:53that's exactly what i'm wondering how i'm
45:55just keeping track of those layout
45:58containers are
45:59you know when i teach people how to build
46:01dashboards and my examples they're all very
46:03simple it's not because i particularly love
46:05simple dashboards it's my brain can't cope
46:07with
46:07too much on a dashboard when i build it
46:09very cool i like the approach here that's
46:11what i'm
46:12seeking rather than try and do something
46:14else because it's too noisy it's
46:16highlighted the
46:17detail through the noise so you don't have
46:20to sort of hunt for the answer and he's
46:22sort of
46:22chosen good colors to do that as well yeah
46:25for sure five minutes five minutes five
46:27minutes left
46:28everybody three squeaky bum time squeaky
46:31bum time
46:31so things are starting to come together
46:39something that makes me feel comfortable i
46:41would admit i was
46:42a little uncomfortable that all those chart
46:44titles were just the name of the chart type
46:46but he's
46:46actually added some value and some
46:48information in the chart title did you
46:49think about that a lot
46:51yeah completely i mean have you spent two
46:53days ever thinking through titles because
46:56that's
46:56basically what happened with us
46:58maybe we wanted to make it the most easy
47:01way for someone to understand what was
47:04going on
47:05so we contemplated questions we
47:07contemplated what he has here i've seen
47:09that legend type for marks
47:11for marks and sizing use more and more
47:14times to the point where like going for a
47:17circle mark type
47:17you should have the option to either have
47:20this this breadcrumb of dots yeah or the
47:23quantity i
47:23think a lot of our audience will have spent
47:25a lot of time thinking about titles there's
47:27many ways
47:27you can exactly them and design them so it
47:29's just great to see that highlighted here
47:31this is so good
47:37super fun super fun we've all gone silent
47:41because of this trying to piece together
47:42how it comes
47:43along she named the images the same name as
47:46the the button for item show and item hide
47:49i don't know about anybody else but i often
47:51get those mixed up sometimes yeah
47:53so having them actually have that label
47:57smart idea even more time sitting okay cool
48:00so this is
48:01coming together she's just checking through
48:03to make sure she didn't mess anything up or
48:06forget
48:06anything show the map options yes she's
48:10doing it's gonna make our faces
48:12almost catastrophic as mr wexler says um
48:23let me not get too curves do win because we
48:26like circles
48:26right aesthetically there's a great thing
48:29it's called um the book of songs maybe that
48:33color
48:33palette i can't get over it it's really
48:35focusing on the fact yeah my house humans
48:37we like around this and curves really
48:39popping yeah it's like some psychedelic
48:42flame yeah
48:43sam's is a very retro very similar to the
48:46color palette of the official uk chart
48:49company in the
48:50uk and i don't know if that was intentional
48:52or a happy accident i think the coup will
48:55be in the
48:56title which will only be revealed in the
48:58very last second of this build so this is
49:00like a mic drop
49:01this title reveal like this uh yeah oh i
49:05can see the image yeah as alex says map
49:10line which will
49:11allow you to hide and collapse the
49:13different containers the thing that i one
49:15of my favorite
49:15things was i think a couple years ago there
49:18was an incredible reaction from the crowd
49:20when
49:20one of the contestants used drop lines yeah
49:23do you remember that one yeah and it was
49:26like ah
49:27drop lines of course what a great idea yeah
49:29because it allows you to see the axis and i
49:31was like that
49:32was in austin texas yeah and everyone crazy
49:36for it crazy for it oh we're getting
49:39heating up we
49:40must be really close to the end i don't
49:42know how people go from this to diamond
49:44just the sort of
49:45crazy information tool tip sheet will
49:47everyone finish that's always another
49:49question so you can
49:50see that he has about three people pens
49:52down step away from the money that's very
49:54cool
49:55he's including wendy um and that's
49:57basically what he's included here
50:00i like that um she's got a gopra deep sign
50:03behind her which is a really nice
50:06one at the bottom he did like i said there
50:09's no text box at all in this dashboard so
50:12at the
50:12bar chart in the bottom he really used uh
50:14captions so the artist origin that you see
50:17sorted
50:18alphabetically he used the worksheet capt
50:19ions because he felt that was the fastest
50:21way to get
50:21that text up and running nice that's a nice
50:24idea does anyone use worksheet captions i
50:28don't know
50:29let's lisa just drank some water she's done
50:32that's a micro moment
50:34she drank some water so she's done
50:41oh i didn't even notice that there was that
50:47web object killing the cook killing the
50:50cookies
50:50whoa uh and watch it collapse it collapses
50:54oh this is it we've got the conzitina going
50:57in and out
50:58this is great yes this is where the hide
51:01and show features are showing
51:03that's just showing off now that's amazing
51:14oh tight very tight very calm okay okay
51:23here we go here we go
51:26to count it down as well oh this is
51:32very tense i felt the tension there at the
51:37end that was exciting absolutely amazing
51:41but i want to know what you at home think
51:43so head over to twitter and instagram and
51:46let us know
51:47make sure to use hashtag iron biz yeah and
51:50you know keisha you've got so many members
51:53of the
51:53community out there watching from home i am
51:55sure they've been going stone cold crazy
51:58what's going on twitter i see some of you
52:01already have your favorites so do you have
52:02to text
52:02sometimes they did it over twitter right
52:06that's right yeah but those bots
52:09oh the bots
52:10this is always good i like to see the
52:17narrative behind the
52:21two years ago when the world was more
52:23normal i visited a country where i got a
52:26chance to
52:27explore a new music culture it was so
52:29fascinating to discover the music culture
52:31of a new country
52:32their music preference when you receive the
52:35music data said i was curious to explore
52:37the
52:37music discovery behaviors across the world
52:40for our analysis we are grouping the
52:42artists into
52:43three broad categories sheher solo artists
52:46he/him solo artists and band or group
52:48artists
52:49the simple and powerful bar chart at the
52:52top shows more than 50 of the global music
52:54discoveries are
52:55happening around key rooms or artists which
52:58are two times more than sheher artists and
53:01three times
53:02more than pan artists the dandelion chart
53:04represents the music discovery by different
53:06artist types bar chart at the bottom
53:08represents the music discovery by different
53:11artists origin
53:12an interesting insight we obtained from
53:15this data set is that more than 80 of the
53:18global
53:18discoveries are happening around european
53:21and north american artists a small
53:23percentage is
53:23contributed by artists from other regions
53:26now let's explore the artists from asia pac
53:29ific region
53:30nice it is interesting to see that all
53:34types of artists from the afic region are
53:36almost equally discovered from the map we
53:40can see that sheher i think that is a map
53:43and most but it's not rendering you right a
53:45lex i think the brightness isn't showing uh
53:47he's got his
53:48screen brightness at the recording side
53:50really bright and also he's done a white v
53:52iz and i think
53:53they've tried to edit it for the dark
53:55visits if you look at this potentially we
53:57can see a mix of
53:58but we'll see this on public anyway so i
54:00never i never think you should judge people
54:02it's tricky when it's virtual though yeah
54:05exactly if this is what most people are
54:07seeing then they
54:07can't see it's a map exactly exactly but i
54:09bet you when you download the same thing on
54:12public
54:12it won't look like this and that's the
54:14thing yeah it's a slightly flip story where
54:17we see a big gap
54:18between feel bad for now that's a real
54:20shame because i think the bars are gray as
54:22well yeah
54:23i don't think this has anything to do with
54:25how he set it up to him i think this looked
54:27perfectly
54:27fine something i come across when i record
54:32videos all the time like you have to sort
54:34of compensate
54:35for what people are going to have on their
54:38screen and i tend to tweak my videos so
54:41that in any
54:42situation you still see the contrast
54:44between the entire like you can't even see
54:49the iron viz lego
54:51clearly and that's not um that's not that's
54:57not dark it's been edited
55:07interestingly indians tend to discover more
55:10music from asian pacific and north american
55:13artists
55:14see what's interesting is i'm just looking
55:16at someone's Twitter post from the stream
55:18it looks better there
55:20yeah on the tc um tc stream jamesy just
55:30said interesting oh we've just we're buff
55:33ering
55:34are you on the tc stream now i am okay
55:37finally analyzing this data set gave me
55:40some warm moments
55:41as well as made me realize some bitter
55:43truth try the um the actual stream
55:46on their channel on the channel yeah yeah
55:51multiple number of times i think it because
55:56it's also on
55:56the twitter stream that you can't see the
55:59whites right so they're the stream they're
56:03pushing out
56:03is not well optimized let me find the
56:06channel one
56:08just hopping across and bringing the um
56:22other streamer
56:22this would result in some serious
56:27consequence that a greater number of
56:30talented artists may even be understood or
56:33underrepresented let's take a small step
56:36together
56:37and make our music discoveries equal across
56:39all artists types all right let's switch
56:41across
56:41okay next up is lisa the music industry is
56:50notoriously difficult to break through
56:53every day there are artists trying to
56:55become the next ed shear in taylor swift
56:57and beyonce
56:58but the reality is that very few stars
57:00actually ever make it to that level of
57:02global stardom
57:03and that's why i really wanted to focus on
57:04the success stories of those artists who
57:06had
57:06breakthroughs in this time period i turned
57:08to their chart metric cross-platform
57:10performance
57:11rank really just to see which artists
57:13pulled themselves from obscurity so low in
57:15the ranks
57:16to the upper echelon of artists in the
57:17industry and there were three artists who
57:19stood out
57:20the first was olivia rodrigo she's a pop
57:22artist and she's featured here in pink
57:25the second was hip-hop artist the kid leroy
57:27he's from australia and givey on who's an r
57:30&b singer
57:30he's here in blue and i really just wanted
57:32to better understand what their journeys to
57:34the top
57:35looked like through their data so i first
57:37turned to their youtube channel views just
57:39to kind of get
57:39an idea of when there might be some pivotal
57:41or breakout moments for these artists and
57:43this really
57:44gave me a high level view but it's it wasn
57:46't as granular as i wanted it to be so i
57:47wanted to focus
57:48a lot of my analysis on the shazam data
57:50which is what's here in the middle alex
57:52noticed it so every
57:53day shazam tracks the top 200 songs that
57:56are shazamed in cities countries and
57:59globally and
57:59we're actually going to watch the journeys
58:01of our stars play out through their shazam
58:03data so every
58:04time they're hitting it on a shazam chart
58:06so when i flip play you're going to see
58:09that the beginning
58:10of 2020 was pretty quiet for our three
58:13artists givio wasn't on any city or country
58:15level shazam
58:16charts oh i love the reference line as well
58:18to australia which makes sense because he's
58:20from
58:20australia and elivia rodrigo has some mild
58:23success because she's on the high school
58:25musical soundtrack
58:26at this parameter on each machine but in
58:27may givion collaborates with drake and he's
58:29featured on his
58:30song chicago freestyle and you can see that
58:32he starts to hit in a couple of different
58:34uh cities
58:35and countries around the world and the
58:37killer roy too is also collaborating with
58:39his friend and
58:39mentor juice world who was an american hip-
58:42hop artist so he's starting to spread his
58:44popularity
58:44from just australia to some other cities
58:46around the world but there needs to be like
58:48an intermediate
58:49between two and three pages of his album
58:51that features the song without to be honest
58:53i'd rather
58:54see come on right here that song is wildly
58:56successful and popular and it's being she
58:58can't
58:58narrate lots of cities and countries around
59:00the world and get them onto the global
59:02level shazam
59:03chart so if we hop down here to the global
59:05chart this is a unit chart so every single
59:07circle here
59:07represents a song that that artist had at
59:10the global level shazam chart and if we
59:12hover over
59:12this yellow dot you can see this is his
59:14song without you really cool if you click
59:16on it you
59:16see that it it has uh been on the chart for
59:18the entirety of the rest of the status set
59:21and you
59:21have the opportunity to play that song so
59:23you can hear what the rest of the world was
59:24shazaming at
59:25that time so he's really had his breakout
59:27and we're about to see olivia rodrigo break
59:30out in
59:30spectacular fashion so she drops her single
59:33driver's license and then boom she's
59:36everywhere
59:36she's all over cities and country level
59:39maps she comes onto the global stage as
59:41well so if we hop
59:42down to that's the power of streaming you
59:43can see the driver's license that wouldn't
59:45happen
59:45on the chart here and the second month it's
59:48on the chart in february it's actually
59:50ranked number one
59:50so it is the most shazam song in the entire
59:53world so she's really had an overnight
59:55success with with
59:56driver's license and she's remained on the
59:58chart the last artist we're going to see
60:00break out is
60:01givion and he has a little bit of an assist
60:03from a tick tock user in the philippines
60:06who uploads a
60:06video of himself dancing along to givion
60:09song heartbreak anniversary which is a year
60:11old at
60:11this point i want to add and the video this
60:14is what tick tock does it brings back so as
60:17you see
60:18is that video starts to spread across the
60:19internet so does givion's popularity around
60:22the on the world
60:22so he's hitting inches and shazam and you
60:26've been to the cities countries and global
60:27you can see him
60:28pop onto the global chart down here with
60:29heartbreak anniversary and again the song
60:31remains on the
60:32chart i love the depth here very cool very
60:34cool very cool so my devil's advocate is
60:37really line
60:37charts on the left global stardom where
60:41they are being like imagine if there's more
60:42real estate
60:42other artists to become the next we're not
60:45done yet there might be still more to play
60:47and the next
60:48felivia rodrigo and now it's time for our
60:51final presentation here with this this is
60:54sam sam you're
60:55up hello everyone and today i'm going to be
60:58talking to you about how new artists are
61:01establishing themselves in the top 100 of
61:03the chart rankings and how technology is
61:05directly
61:06impacting their fortunes here we are
61:08looking at the top 100 artists as at august
61:11this year
61:11and we want to let you see the label these
61:13lines flying up like a flag through colors
61:16artists green black and red themselves so
61:18simple and they're also in the title we can
61:20highlight
61:20these artists and a few others different
61:23story points here eight different artists
61:26that we can
61:26pick through in our visualization each of
61:28these eight artists have breached into the
61:31top 100 in
61:31the last two years each of these artists
61:34have an initial track driving that search
61:36and these tracks
61:38are represented in these these area charts
61:41are built with shazam search data and the
61:43shape of
61:44those tracks are built with the number of
61:46cities searching for that tracker that's
61:49really interesting
61:49that gives us a sense of the viral nature
61:52of that track if we want to pick into any
61:54of these data
61:55stories we can click on a plot when we
61:57click on one of these plots the two
61:58reference lines from
62:00each chart line up on that date and now we
62:02can clearly see that the shazam search data
62:05is preceding the surge in the rankings on
62:07the chart metric rankings this tells us
62:10that shazam
62:11is a good indicator of fan interest and
62:13where new artists and new songs are on the
62:16rise
62:16here we are looking at olivia this is going
62:19to be the sound show high to it yes he was
62:21saying he
62:21she's bubbles we want to understand why are
62:23people having to shazam every iron biz
62:25contestants bring
62:26something to you in this music worldwide
62:29but crucially not connected to that we can
62:32explore
62:32the uh looking at regional level but having
62:38different kinds of cities in each region
62:41i love the responsive behavior make this
62:43equal and we can compare something like the
62:47animations will help i think animations
62:50that really close very quickly to say latin
62:53america
62:54that the initial surge is much higher and
62:56they maintain that interest so from this we
62:59can gather
62:59that latin americans really connect with
63:01this track more than europeans do but why
63:05are we
63:05seeing this surge of interest this also
63:07different stories of interest using shazam
63:10on each tracks
63:11not just this track but all the others in
63:13our story here what is the driving factor
63:15and it is this tick tock tick tock over the
63:18last couple of years has exploded we have
63:21been in a
63:22global pandemic we've been in various lock
63:24downs where we've been stuck at home we can
63:26't see our
63:26friends and family tick tock so as
63:28providers this is a very specific story
63:29this is a very specific
63:30story this is a very specific story this is
63:34a very specific story this is a very
63:34specific story
63:34so the olivia rodrigo section crucially
63:37what is the music there and if you click
63:39any of the others
63:39you're right we get a different story and
63:41the other artists that are feasting right
63:43can you
63:44change the story that would be the mic that
63:45will be the mic that will be the mic that
63:47will be the
63:47mic dancing you listen to the song on that
63:50dance and you love it you don't know who it
63:52by so where
63:53do you go you have to go to shazam to find
63:56out who that artist and track is you add
63:58that to your
63:59streaming app of choice maybe spotify or
64:01apple itunes and you start listening to
64:03that at your
64:04leisure and as you are listening to that
64:06you are streaming it those streams are
64:08being counted and
64:09collected and added to the billboard
64:11rankings but crucially and this is the
64:13point you are not the
64:14only one doing that at this point in time
64:16millions of people around the world are
64:18doing the same
64:19thing with the same track and before you
64:21know it that song has gone viral this is
64:24the power of
64:25technology and tick tock because that
64:28artist becomes a star overnight here in
64:31this data set
64:32and this visualization we are proving the
64:34power of tick tock over the music industry
64:36where if a song
64:37hits a viral i like the fact it's started
64:39at the top all the way down and then built
64:41back up again
64:42what the cause and effect are through
64:45through the different data sets you might
64:47find the second
64:48rise is record labels okay starting right
64:51catch it on the vote by text is all right
64:54make sure you
64:56vote guys and canada text voting number is
64:59three seven six zero seven i think they're
65:02all great
65:03worldwide text voting number is long great
65:08solutions it's plus one four four three
65:12five four eight for
65:13pradeep text ivy pradeep if you think lisa
65:18should win it's ivy lisa and if you're
65:22voting for sam
65:23text you vote for him with ivy sam now
65:27standard text messaging rates may apply
65:32according to your
65:33cellular provider plan poll everywhere does
65:36not charge for text message responses
65:39audience members
65:40outside of canada and the united states
65:43will not incur long distance texting
65:46charges but other
65:47charges may apply all that information
65:49about the numbers are ready in my phone it
65:52's the same number
65:53as last year oh really and now let's hear
65:57what the judges have to say yeah i can see
65:59that alex
66:00is like from last year so the one reason
66:03judging is so hard to find out that's the
66:06one contact
66:06is that the visits are just so tremendous i
66:12agree jock uh all three of these are so
66:15good mind
66:16blowing i don't know how we're gonna pick
66:18between these and i have to say i honestly
66:21learned
66:21something in each this yeah so christian
66:25you've actually been through this get us
66:28started yeah i
66:29think we'll start with pradeep's this one
66:32take hey there we go oh it's so good it
66:35looks better here
66:36one good way to drive engagement i don't
66:37know what was wrong with the youtube stream
66:39but definitely
66:40looks better here yeah for sure anybody
66:42across the world could click on their
66:44country and see
66:45what the consumption in terms of gender it
66:47comes to life like this right look at the
66:49legend really
66:49good way that's a really cool technique
66:51essentially drive engagement for the
66:52visualization
66:53i'm curious did you guys understand um how
66:57an artist was categorized as being from a
67:01country
67:01i just remember we hovered over a couple of
67:04artists and i was just curious no did not
67:07understand that yeah it wasn't it wasn't
67:10exactly clear to me my assumption taha was
67:12that that was
67:13the place of birth um but it could be wrong
67:16it wasn't wasn't exactly clear if they're
67:19using um so
67:21this is the data i think they're using i
67:23think it's the country just really told a
67:25true story uh
67:27it was just astounding that moment when she
67:30animates through the map i mean kudos the
67:33combination of animation and narration over
67:36the top of that was powerful and so how l
67:40isa was able
67:41to navigate through time i said my my my
67:44thing still remains i feel like the maps
67:46exploding
67:47indicating that and virality was really
67:50really powerful and i think if it was i don
67:53't know it's
67:54so hard to design a business because you do
67:56end up with dead spacing like i don't know
67:58what to do with
67:58it to read them but the thing is the charts
68:01are vibrant and so i got the basic story
68:03without having
68:04to know the details of the label yeah the
68:08colors used this year is saying everyone's
68:11nailed of
68:12using the interactivity of a layout
68:14container to sort of unfold the story um i
68:18really appreciated
68:19the way he sort of progressively revealed
68:21the story and using those those collapsible
68:24containers
68:25yeah so he wasn't as a dashboard consumer
68:27sometimes it's easy to get overwhelmed with
68:29where you're
68:30supposed to correct yeah and how you're
68:32supposed to follow the story so he did a
68:34great job using
68:35those new features the um this allows the
68:37visit the individual visits to breathe and
68:40like the
68:40ones that are less important become like i
68:42thought that was a really cool way to use
68:43those features
68:44i agree christian i thought the buttons
68:48were very creative and i love that it
68:51started out with a
68:52question so i felt very guided through this
68:55story one of the things i am confused about
68:58is why the
69:00particular set i think it was eight artists
69:04why they were chosen because it looked like
69:07there were
69:08more lines that were coming up into the top
69:10i didn't get why those particular ones were
69:13chosen
69:14over other ones that might have been chosen
69:16right keisha there's a lot of tough
69:18deliberations
69:19i think there's there's a clearer story
69:21maybe it's on the screen right now it's
69:24emphasizing
69:25the right story i think that's what's done
69:27yeah exactly and if you're voting for lisa
69:31vote so hard very difficult and you can
69:34vote for sam with ivy get your votes in
69:36people
69:37now everyone make sure to vote and do it
69:41now hurry up because the voting ends in
69:44five

75:24button
75:24i'll get some going as well uh i should do
75:30that because it's um having had music um
75:33all the way through whatever what's
75:35everyone's thoughts um how do we how do you
75:38find that
75:38positives like what was the thing that you
75:41enjoyed most about that exactly yeah drop
75:44some things in
75:44the chat um i think for me it's it's always
75:48that middle bit that middle bit right like
75:51it's it's
75:52when you're trying to figure out what what
75:54is it building towards like you've seen the
75:56calcs being
75:56built you've seen the first couple of
75:58visits and then you're like man what are
75:59they gonna end up
76:00with and then the story always like pushes
76:03home what they've got so yeah really good i
76:07like the
76:08way um i actually like the way all three of
76:11them um thought a lot more about things
76:14that don't
76:15typically get airtime for example pradeep
76:18thinking more about um you know what's the
76:20what's the right
76:21word here diversity i guess yeah and uh
76:24presenting the data in an inclusive way um
76:27you had sam
76:28thinking more about how do i help the user
76:31um read this story better not not how do i
76:34tell the story
76:34better it's how do i help this user read
76:37the story better that was really really
76:39good and lisa um lisa
76:41actually was a really good example where
76:42she built the viz and i think she talked us
76:44through her viz
76:46in a way that everyone can learn a lot from
76:47when it comes to presenting your dashboards
76:49right
76:50and she built it and then she guided us
76:51through it in the right order in the right
76:53way to kind
76:54of set it all up same i thought so much to
76:56learn from all of them and there's there
76:58are three
76:58different ways of storytelling as well do
77:01you know swap out to the yeah sorry sorry
77:03um yeah i think
77:05each of them had different storytelling
77:07styles yeah right because you had pradeep
77:09sort of telling
77:10the story of starting at the top moving
77:11down and then back up back to the top and
77:13then down again
77:15then you had lisa's which was the
77:17traditional z format where you're working
77:19across the viz down
77:20to the bottom and then sort of finishing in
77:22that bottom right corner where she had the
77:24spotify
77:24and then you had sam going from left to
77:27white across yeah um and building the
77:30narrative and
77:31then bringing it back as well exactly um so
77:35yeah i think it was for me the design for
77:37all three of
77:38them was so good but then all clearly
77:40thought about not just the analysis and
77:43story but how
77:44can i use color padding all the different
77:47features that tav allows you to flex into
77:50exactly um to tell the story and support
77:53the narrative yeah yeah it's good i love it
77:56i've got
77:56so much to learn i've been a judge the last
77:58two years and the reason i stay a judge is
78:00because
78:00i learn when i'm judging i'm i'm
78:02downloading the workbooks i'm opening them
78:04up i'm seeing
78:04what is going on here i'm discovering weird
78:08quirks that i you think just don't work and
78:11they do and
78:11it's like yeah that's so smart i wish i
78:13thought of that um and things that you've
78:15tried in the past
78:16didn't work then and you realize oh they
78:18now work hey i actually encourage all the
78:21all the
78:21viewers right over everyone else sort of
78:23sticking around like go do go download
78:25other people's
78:26visualizations this is why you should
78:28always do it in public exactly because it
78:30allows you to um
78:32do you know that t-shirt was removed from
78:33the store yeah this is why it's exclusive
78:36and it
78:37was brought back for one year only um but
78:40not being pc for not being pc but yeah no
78:44it's it's
78:44tablo public is the best way i think we
78:46there was someone who was watching our
78:48session
78:48possibly this morning uk time in the emia
78:52time zone uh who was saying like i learned
78:55tablo in a weird way which is i download
78:57other people's work and say like right can
78:59i rebuild
79:00this exactly so no that's not a weird way
79:02that's that's such a good way to learn that
79:04's way so
79:05if i grab sam's viz here yeah um and uh in
79:09case why not just edit edit a copy in the
79:13browser
79:13oh god you're making me sign in i have to
79:15do this in another window so you don't all
79:17see my well
79:19the last pass remembered it so you didn't
79:20see it anyway um so here we go and i think
79:24i have to go
79:24to the bottom of this to do this nice at
79:27the top make a copy i didn't see that hold
79:29on this is the
79:31problem with the full screen of is make a
79:33copy there we go i thought you could just
79:35edit it and
79:36then save a copy maybe they changed that no
79:40so you're thinking of server right oh yeah
79:43enterprise
79:44fanboy here we go so we're in sam's viz his
79:49iron vis entry um i am going to try
79:51something here to
79:53see if i can make this smaller so we can
79:54get more of it on screen i appreciate you
79:56probably can't
79:57see this whole entire interface but um
80:00nonetheless um ryan's tweeting there you go
80:02yeah perfect okay
80:04so if you scroll down you can see there are
80:06individual sheets on the left hand side and
80:09what i always recommend you do when you
80:11sort of tear down a vis is you look at the
80:13sheets first
80:13don't go sort of gallivanting um on the
80:15dashboard because sometimes they're layout
80:17containers
80:18that are set up in a specific way and if it
80:20's floating this is really not going to help
80:22you so
80:23first uh select the sheet on the left and
80:25you'll see that it highlights it here so
80:27you can see the
80:28first one here is that one yeah marvel
80:29stock is the first on the left and so these
80:32are the three
80:32visits and that's how you sort of start
80:34your analysis ask yourself is there
80:35something in
80:36these three visits that you'd really like
80:38to understand get the better off so um let
80:40's go
80:40to this one here if i click into it let's
80:42figure out how the area under the chart is
80:45shaded exactly
80:46so now we're in here and we can see a
80:47couple of things you've got the disney
80:50color which is this
80:51pink color and the true color and then you
80:53've also got this white area here i don't
80:55know how that's
80:56working but i think it might be to do with
80:58this particular line chart the other thing
81:00is to look
81:00at columns and rows so you can see that the
81:03year is there twice and we can see the sum
81:05of n prices
81:06on rows and then on the marks pane you've
81:08obviously got the general marks pane you've
81:11got the marks
81:12pane for the year and then the marks pane
81:14for the year again and so the second marks
81:17pane here has
81:18something called null highlight so what i
81:20tend to do is i go and remove that to see
81:22what breaks so
81:24let's go remove the second one and uh in
81:26this particular case what happens is that
81:29the line
81:29disappears so what sam has done here is he
81:32's essentially built an area chart in this
81:34first one
81:35then he's built a line chart and overlaid
81:38it on top to give it this effect which i go
81:41which he
81:41gives it the pop yeah exactly exactly so
81:43that's how he's done it it's not like an
81:44arrow chart with
81:45a line border it's actually two charts a
81:47line chart and an area chart and then that
81:49instantly
81:50lets me know how he's done this white
81:52section because essentially there isn't any
81:53data there
81:54right yeah so the null highlight is really
81:55interesting right because if you take that
81:57off
81:57the detail shelf yeah um from the yeah
82:00exactly if i take it out the shelf
82:02disappears and all together
82:04so no no oh no sorry because the measure is
82:07still there yeah because if you go to undo
82:10that and go
82:10to all um and then bring back take off the
82:13null highlight here the thing that will
82:16break here is
82:17i think oh i was expecting the the line to
82:20break because i thought that was what's
82:22driving the line
82:24it's if you remove it off all it's only in
82:26all because it's in one of these two in
82:29both of them
82:29no it's been both of them as well which is
82:32why i was intrigued to see whether it broke
82:34the
82:34reference line no it doesn't break the
82:36reference line so what is it might just be
82:39there as an
82:39artifact from building possibly yeah yeah
82:42right and to do something yeah yeah when
82:45you're building
82:46sometimes you you sort of leave stuff in
82:48there that you forgot to take out this is i
82:50think a
82:50good example if i remove that the chart
82:53doesn't change go back to the main
82:55dashboard and yeah it
82:56works just as expected maybe i don't know
82:58that oh there you go alex is saying that
83:00null highlight
83:01avoids the highlight on action did not know
83:04that oh i see i see i see so by putting it
83:07on e okay
83:08that is smart right it's very smart i like
83:10it there you go learning something new
83:13every day
83:13and this is why you want to pick a viz
83:15clearly i haven't done enough of that
83:20so that's interesting we've learned
83:21something from this one already um if i go
83:23to this one i
83:24find this interesting because he's got
83:26these sort of this looks like an
83:27unconventional chart type so
83:29let's click on it and go and have a look
83:31and see what's happening what is
83:33interesting is that the
83:34chart backgrounds are transparent okay
83:37right so in this one we click on it and it
83:40's white if i go back
83:41i think it's several charts layered on top
83:45of each other you reckon i think so so let
83:49's find
83:49our end game let's see if any of these
83:52other ones highlight this one that's the
83:55only way i can think
83:57double double click it or look at the
84:00layout in the with the collapsible
84:02containers yeah
84:03that's a good shot so if i click on that
84:06where are we floating
84:07so if it's floating let's move it there we
84:14go right so these are just the dots okay
84:18and this
84:19is an image oh is it hahaha sneaky edit
84:25image there we go there you go that's an
84:29image so it's funny
84:30because yeah you would have thought oh like
84:33unconventional chart type uh but actually
84:35this
84:35is an image and all the viz is doing it's
84:39been placed expertly on top to tell the
84:42story keep
84:43a better interactivity as well right yeah
84:45exactly i think it will load faster how
84:48could you do this
84:49without uh using an image that's always the
84:51other question is can you do this without
84:52an image um
84:54i think what you get here is also the tool
84:56tips as well yeah well and i think i think
84:59this is only
85:00there for the tool tip right like it's it's
85:02purely there for that interaction on top of
85:04it so a good
85:06use case um to put the text in these images
85:08and have it it's not terribly sharp that's
85:11always an
85:12accessibility thing to bear in mind if you
85:14use an image um accessibility can sort of
85:17um become an
85:17issue so uh we've just done one column we
85:19're not going to do this whole entire viz no
85:21that will
85:23take so long uh because yeah i'm i'm gonna
85:26avoid this whole video yeah the second
85:29thing that's
85:30interesting here and to think about is um
85:33he's used images in here because tablo
85:35public doesn't
85:36like fonts right uh true exactly he wants
85:38to go with a certain font he wants to go
85:40for a certain
85:41font therefore has to go for um that view
85:43but you're sort of choosing form over
85:46function right
85:47right sure all my accessibility right you
85:49've always got to think of that um if i open
85:53this
85:53uh what do you reckon it's gonna be a
85:55similar vibe do you think i think this is i
85:59think this is two
86:01charts but oh no it's just oh okay all
86:05right this is a custom built chart that's
86:09got this is using
86:11map layers to the nth extreme yeah so we
86:14have this number of charts here on the left
86:18essentially what
86:19they're doing is they're using my players
86:21um to essentially as a hack and if you
86:24haven't watched
86:24my video about hacks watch it but
86:26essentially they're using my players as a
86:29hack here to layer
86:30lots of different charts on top of each
86:32other um and that's actually quite tricky
86:34to do to get these
86:35to all sit in the exact correct position is
86:39quite tricky now these lines this i can
86:42only summarize
86:43as go learn geometry because when you hover
86:47over these as well we've got charts and
86:50tooltips so not
86:51only is it an intricate sort of chart
86:53design but there's a lot going on here i
86:55don't even know where
86:56to start i think this is taking a day to
87:00pick this apart and also it's the attention
87:03to detail in
87:04this as well right exactly like you've got
87:06you've taken the bit which is the chart and
87:08you've
87:09created that chart in the top that yeah
87:12these are pro pro tooltips yeah dots on top
87:15of tooltips
87:16uh dots on top for tooltips yeah and that's
87:18just from earlier on i wonder how fast it
87:20renders when
87:21you hover on the actual public on uh tablet
87:23public i mean i'm doing this in the browser
87:26so why would
87:26it be any slower um i think you have to
87:28hover over specific ones so let me click on
87:31this window i
87:31wasn't clicking on it here we go no oh
87:34there we go it's pretty fast i'm not gonna
87:37lie to you
87:38it's pretty fun something so it's not slow
87:41uh since 2021.2 i think these have actually
87:46been
87:46fairly fast which is sad right because
87:50people have sort of like palmed or been
87:53like yeah
87:53it isn't tilted no need for that it's just
87:56too slow this is really good um i don't
87:59even know
87:59where to start with this i just i always
88:01think like how do you have the state of
88:04mind to attempt
88:05this right you can only get there by sort
88:08of chopping it into bits and uh taking each
88:12problem
88:13one at a time maybe build them three
88:15separate charts then use uh um the
88:17technique to bring
88:18them together i mean i'm sure sam sort of
88:21like sketches it out true and there's like
88:24maybe if
88:24you could do something like yeah then
88:26things in the segments yeah um but there is
88:29there is a lot
88:30of images in here i'm not going to lie to
88:32you yeah yeah which goes back to anna's
88:34question at the
88:35start of the stream how do we feel about
88:38high level of images but where there are
88:41charts they're still
88:42using some pretty advanced techniques so
88:46yeah you can't say this one is all white
88:49i think of an image backdrop again for the
88:52tooltips it definitely helps with the speed
88:55of
88:55load right i think so yeah because which is
88:59gonna be gone uh you see these these um
89:02tooltips um
89:04the whole dashboard is set on uh this pink
89:06so the dash the sheet itself is transparent
89:09so that when
89:09you put it on here it's um it's completely
89:12see-through yeah for sure interesting fun
89:16good work anyway i'm not gonna we're not
89:18gonna do this this will take us a while
89:19this is this
89:21we should do this we should actually do
89:23this uh try and reverse engineer every iron
89:26viz
89:27uh finalist that would be that would be
89:30amazing 24-hour stream i will review every
89:35iron viz
89:35as if you don't have enough videos to make
89:39mate all time all things to do you don't
89:43have a day
89:43job right your day job is i don't have a
89:45day job uh i'm not about to be a dad again
89:47i might know
89:47definitely not so i'm not gonna save this i
89:50'm gonna delete this but that's essentially
89:52how to
89:53um tear apart a viz um so yeah i think we
89:57're gonna call it there um it's been a
90:00really good stream
90:01really enjoyed it uh thank goodness we didn
90:03't have technical issues today that sets the
90:05standard high
90:06for tomorrow yeah join us again tomorrow we
90:09're going through devs on stage and you'll
90:11get like
90:12exactly the most hyped reactions i think
90:14yesterday with the keynote was kind of like
90:16yeah this is
90:16cool this is like you got a semi-level of
90:19hype and excited excitement yeah um and
90:23yeah tomorrow
90:23is just going to be like full every two
90:26minutes so alex just saying here that the a
90:30bmp background
90:31avoids the terrible rendering of graphics
90:33on public interesting all these techniques
90:36i've
90:36never heard of crazy tablets moved on since
90:39you did stuff in public but the design uh
90:43curious
90:44i'll say it's uh sadly the only way yeah
90:47all right let's call it a day thank you
90:49very much thank you
90:50for tuning in thank you for your support
90:52again tomorrow's the last day um of the
90:55live streaming
90:56we're going to be doing devs on stage or
90:58devs at desk whatever it's called um also
91:00be sure to check
91:00out our live stream from yesterday that's
91:02actually on the channel already so you can
91:04re-watch that
91:05relive the hype um minus the technical
91:07issues because it's all been edited
91:08beautifully fun fact
91:10uh ravi we found out that we couldn't have
91:12shown the customer sections anyway so it's
91:15actually a
91:15great little thing well we had problems
91:17because we wouldn't have gone in trouble so
91:20um that's all
91:21up and ready to watch um i've also done a
