Waiting too long for Excel's VLOOKUP? Use SQLite for simple data analysis!

** This workshop was conducted in the Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2017 ** Excel formulas can be quite slow when you're processing data files with thousands of rows. It's also especially difficult to maintain the files when you have some messy mixture of VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, Macros and VBAs. In this interactive workshop targeted for non-coders, we will make use of SQLite, a very lightweight and portable open source database library, to perform some simple and repeatable data analysis on large datasets that are publicly available. We will also explore what you can further do with the data by using some powerful extensions of SQLite. While SQLite may not totally replace Excel in many ways, after the workshop you will find that it can improve your work efficiency and make your life much easier in so many use cases! Who should attend this workshop? - If you're frustrated with the slow performance of Excel formulas when dealing with large datasets in your daily work - No coding experience is required

Following best practices can help ensure your success. This is especially true for Force.com applications or large Salesforce orgs that have the potential to push platform limits. Salesforce allows you to easily scale up from small to large amounts of data. Mostly this is seamless, but as data sets get larger, the time required for certain operations may grow too. Join us to learn different ways of designing and configuring data structures and planning a deployment process to significantly reduce deployment times and achieve operational efficiency. Watch this webinar to: Explore best practices for the design, implementation, and maintenance phases of your app's lifecycle. Learn how seemingly unrelated components can affect one another and determine the ultimate scalability of your app. See live demos that illustrate innovative solutions to tough challenges, including the integration of an external data warehouse using Force.com Canvas. Walk away with practical tips for putting best practices into action.

The document discusses advanced analytics capabilities in Tableau. It summarizes that Tableau allows both technical and non-technical users to perform advanced analytics tasks like segmentation, cohort analysis, scenario analysis, sophisticated calculations, time series analysis, and predictive analysis without requiring programming. It provides intuitive interfaces and drag-and-drop functionality for these advanced tasks. Tableau's calculation language also allows power users to build complex expressions and manipulate result sets.

DATA TIPS
 Try not to have summarized data (Totals/Grand Totals can easily be
calculated in Tableau)
 Remove empty rows and columns
 Provide column headers (careful with headers beginning with numbers
or special characters)
 Rename any duplicate header names
 Make sure you data is correctly delimited (avoid data with different data
types in the same column)
 Only have the data you want to use (remove any unnecessary text)

Tableau is a Business Intelligence tool for visually analyzing the data. Users can create and distribute an interactive and shareable dashboard, which depict the trends, variations, and density of the data in the form of graphs and charts. Tableau can connect to files, relational and Big Data sources to acquire and process data. The software allows data blending and real-time collaboration, which makes it very unique. It is used by businesses, academic researchers, and many government organizations for visual data analysis. It is also positioned as a leader Business Intelligence and Analytics Platform in Gartner Magic Quadrant. #tableauslideshare #tableaux #tableaudeco #tableaudemariage #tableaupersonnalisé #portableaudio #tableauabstrait #tableaumariage #tableauvivant #tableausoftware #tableauxanciens #tableaudecoratif #tableauxvivants #tableaunoir #tableauancien #tableauvegetal #tableauxdécoratifs #tableauacrylique #tableaumoderne #tableaucontemporain #tableaudesign #tableauxmodernes #tableaudebord #adoptableauction #tableauelectrique #tableauxabstraits #restaurationdetableaux #tableau_bylu #tableauart #tableauavendre #tableautaubate . . .

Data ware house design

This document provides information on designing a data warehouse, including key concepts like star schemas, snowflake schemas, dimensions, facts, and granularity. It discusses why an OLTP database may not be suitable for reporting and emphasizes the importance of auditing in a data warehouse to track changes over time through lineage information. Dimension tables contain attributes and keys while fact tables contain measures and foreign keys to dimensions.

EXCEL ADD-IN
After you have activated the add-in, the Tableau tab is now available in your
menu. You should highlight the data that you want to reshape and then press
the Reshape Data icon and hit okay in the popup dialog box. The add-in will
take all the columns and create 2 new columns. One column is the unique
values of the column headers while the other are the values in the columns
from the original data.
14
EXCEL TRANSPOSE
 Copy the Product name to a column
Right click to Paste
 Copy all the monthly values for the
Product
 Right click and select Paste
Options – Transpose paste the
transposed values to the column
after the Product name
 Transpose does not work with Cut
& Paste
 Copy the Product name to fill out all
the column values next to the
Transpose values for that product
 Repeat for each of the products

DATA TIPS
 Defining the data in the correct format will solve possible issues you could have
in Tableau
 Structuring / Reshaping data into a “Row-Centric” design will be the easiest for
Tableau to consume
 Tableau’s Excel add-in is the easiest technique to reshape your data
 Pivot and Unpivot are Microsoft SQL commands other programs have similar
types of reshaping tools/keywords
R: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7980030/how-to-pivot-unpivot-cast-melt-data-frame
PostgreSQL: crosstab http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/tablefunc.html
 Review how your data loads into Tableau especially focus on if your data is a
Dimension or Measure and if it you have one or multiple fields

DATA TIPS  Try not to have summarized data (Totals/Grand Totals can easily be calculated in Tableau)  Remove empty rows and columns  Provide column headers (careful with headers beginning with numbers or special characters)  Rename any duplicate header names  Make sure you data is correctly delimited (avoid data with different data types in the same column)  Only have the data you want to use (remove any unnecessary text) http://kb.tableausoftware.com/articles/knowledgebase/preparing-excel-files-analysis 9

You should highlight the data that you want to reshape and then press the Reshape Data icon and hit okay in the popup dialog box. The add-in will take all the columns and create 2 new columns. One column is the unique values of the column headers while the other are the values in the columns from the original data.
