Exploring the visualizations of other authors

We often learn by viewing other people's work. So, let's take a look at a few data visualizations created by other authors. Note that most Tableau Public data visualizations allow you to download the entire workbook. If data is not readily downloadable on the workbook page, you can export the underlying data to Excel while inside the workbook by using the desktop client of Tableau Public. There are several great places to find the best Tableau Public data visualizations, including Tableau Public and the VIZ OF THE DAY galleries (for more information, visit https://public.tableau.com/s/gallery) and the Tableau Public blog (to have a look at the blog, visit https://public.tableau.com/s/blog).

To make use of a recommended authors and profile finder, visit https://public.tableau.com/s/authors.

The Tableau Public gallery is an excellent place to look at examples of works of others, and the Tableau Public team has curated a set of popular visualizations by topic and number of views.

The recommended authors page (https://public.tableau.com/s/authors) is a fun place to look at both well-known and established Tableau Public authors (bloggers, journalists, and the Tableau staff) as well as lesser known authors to explore their work. You can also access an author's profile page and see their work by clicking on the View Profile button under their name, as shown in the following screenshot:
