    In case anyone was playing around after the first tutorial and forgot how we left off, we had a filter on Platforms: PS, PS2, PS3, PS4. Also, my vertical axis wasn't refreshing so I double clicked the Global Sales vertical axis and changed the Range to update Automatic. This is a great introduction to Tableau, Alex. I had been using Excel to review and analyze accounting data for years, and could never get the graphs to do what I wanted.

    Just popping in to say that your videos helped me immensely in creating a path toward gaining the skills that would eventually land me my first job in data analytics. Your series on building a portfolio was probably the most helpful in helping me understand how to transition into this new career. After 7 months of online studies (including learning from your videos!), and nearly 100 job applications later, I was finally offered a job as a marketing analyst. I've been at this role a little over a month, and I still can't believe I get paid to do something so fun. It feels like I'm just solving puzzles all day! I signed up for an Alteryx training the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised and stoked to see you as one of the speakers. Your videos helped me land this job, and now I get to watch your trainings as a part of my job! Thank you for all you're doing for us newbies to the field!

What else would you suggest i add to my resume or work on to have a higher chance of laning a job in this field? Thank you!

    I am learning Tableau and these videos are very helpful. I know there are many videos out there but your speed is great and easer to follow. One question, take the final bar graph you showed as an example, if you want to show the percentage within each bin (instead of % of total), how do you do it? TIA Also, I can't find quick table calculation in my newly downloaded Tableau Public. I wonder if they have made a change...

    Using the same file, my data starts on 1980. But the weird part is that my bins are grouping the amounts per category & totals in a very different way. You're getting largest amount of sales for 2000-04, for example. I'm getting for 2005-09. Any idea why that might be Alex? Or anyone?

    Bins allow you to neatly categorise many continuous variables into finite buckets, which tends to be easier to read. So instead of a separate bar for every single year, you can just group the bars together by five-year or longer increments to get a broader picture.

    your introduction to Tableau is very nice Alex! I am currently doing the coursera google cert for data analytics right now, and had to a mini project using Tableau (which was really bothersome for me as the intructor didn't even mention where she got her dataset from ie what was the title of the set). I am learning a lot more through you videos on Tableau. I have already learned that in the excel sheet the attributes in the sheet become the list at the left hand side when you are making your graphs and charts (through my own experimentation ie making up a dataset using 5-6 attributes)...I like your video as it is more subdued and calm...
