Tableau

I am a huge fan of incorporating Tableau into my data analytics projects. While some may use R/python or Tableau, I use both; Tableau allows us to rapidly explore our data in order to find errors that need to be addressed before moving onto downstream modeling and reporting tasks.

Many moons ago, I wrote some code to build a Tableau Data Extract from the work that I had munged together in python. I figured it was time to update the code since I recently discovered that the Tableau API has changed.

As of late, there has been a surge in conversation around the topic of the college-going population here in the United States. One one hand, we have long talked about the “The Perfect Storm” of demographics.
