Tableau's File Types

Tableau supports different types, here I make the summary and mark if the file type is supported by Tableau Desktop Professional or Tableau Desktop Public.

File Type File Extension Definition Professional Edition Public Edition
Workbooks  .twb Workbooks hold one or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories. ✓ x
Bookmarks  .tbm Bookmarks contain a single worksheet and are an easy way to quickly share your work. ✓ x
Packaged Workbooks  .twbx A packaged workbook is a single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data and background images. This format is the best way to package your work for sharing with others who don’t have access to the original data.  ✓ ✓
Extract  .hyper Extract files are a local copy of a subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others, when you need to work offline, and improve performance.  ✓ x
Data Source .tds Data source files are shortcuts for quickly connecting to the original data that you use often. Data source files do not contain the actual data but rather the information necessary to connect to the actual data as well as any modifications you've made on top of the actual data such as changing default properties, creating calculated fields, adding groups, and so on.  ✓ x
Packaged Data Source  .tdsx A packaged data source is a zip file that contains the data source file (.tds) described above as well as any local file data such as extract files (.hyper), text files, Excel files, Access files, and local cube files. Use this format to create a single file that you can then share with others who may not have access to the original data stored locally on your computer.  ✓ x

Schema and Security Control in SQL server

Image
dbo is always seen as a SQL server table's schema. dbo stands for database owner. The dbo schema is the default schema of every database. When user created with  CREATE USER   T-SQL command have dbo as their default schema. The dbo schema is owned by the dbo user account.  SQL server also provides other pre-defined schemas that have the same names as the built-in db users and roles: db_accessadmin, db_backupoperator, db_datareader, db_datawriter, db_ddladmin, db_denydatareader, db_denydatawriter, db_owner, db_securityadmin . These exist for backward compatibility. The recommendation is to not use them for user objects.  User can drop the schemas that have the same names as the fixed database roles - unless they're already in use, in which case the drop-command will simply return an error and block the drop of the used schema. For example: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.schemas WHERE name = N'db_accessadmin') DROP SCHEMA [db_accessadmin] GO If user drops the...

Recently, my son participated in a local academic competition alongside other kids of same grade from various schools. During the group contest, held in the same classroom, his team which has 4 kids from same class felt confident as they competed against other school teams. However, to their surprise, their school didn’t secure a spot in the top eight. The team they considered less capable outperformed them. As a data enthusiast mom, I’m eager to delve into the reasons behind this unexpected outcome. I'm going to divide the observants into 4 groups:  Group1: participants from school A, Group2: participants from school B,  Group3: participants from school C, Group4: All the participants. First, I'm going to study the Descriptive Statistics of each group's scores.  Descriptive statistics refer to the analysis, summary, and presentation of findings related to a data set derived from a sample or the entire population. These statistics help us understand and organize char...

Washington State's Gasoline Price Hit the Historical High Recently, I heard the news that the gas price of Washington hit a historical high in June 2023 , even unseated California, though the Gas prices are still lower than the inflation-plagued summer months last year. The average price in King County exceeded $5 a gallon on Jun 21st per The Seattle Times . No wonder when I fill up my gas at Costco, the price is almost 5 dollars per gallon. Normally, I'm not price sensitive, but this time, it surprised me. So I grabbed the dataset from U.S. Energy Information Administration and work out a Power BI dashboard.  The first chart which is the Line and clustered Column Chart to show the gas price tendency of Washington State together with other 4 states as California, Texas, New York and Florida. The gas price I'm using is All Grades All Formulations Retail Gasoline Prices(Dollars per Gallon). It looks like California always has the highest gas price in the past 5 ...
