This has been a fun way to sharpen my data analysis and visualisation skills while documenting my whisky journey. Bonus: I’ve learned how easily my palate can be swayed by a beautiful label and a sexy bottle. timthedataanalyst.com/post/the-unica… #PowerBI #DataAnalytics #TheUnicask #Whisky

🚨 Just got access to Power BI for the first time... 🔍 I'm curious: * What have you rebuilt or reimagined in Power BI after using Tableau? * What strengths or surprises did you discover? * Any regrets (or revelations) switching from one to the other?

🧠 Work-in-Progress Wednesday: Switching Gears Now I’m supposed to be starting a Python project. But after spending so much time thinking in SQL logic and visual design, jumping into Python has felt surprisingly hard. Blank screen. Cursor blinking. Brain like “what now?” 😅

📘 Currently reading: Essentialism: by Greg McKeown. In a world where more is often mistaken for better, this book is a powerful reminder that clarity, focus, and saying "no" can be the most productive choices we make. What’s a book that shifted your perspective recently?

My SQL ran fine. I could read it. But was it readable to anyone else? Nah. Until I found that little 🧹 icon in MySQL. Hover: “Beautify or Reformat the SQL Script.” It's like 1,000 angels singing in indentation. #SQLTip #DataHumor #MySQL

🏀 Whether it's 3PT shooting, conversion rates, or survey data — Context + calculated fields = dashboards you can trust. #TableauTips #DataMistakes #LearningInPublic #Analytics #NBAAnalytics


Boom 💥 Now you're showing real performance — not just math illusions. Percentages without context can lie.


🛠️ Tableau Fix: Instead of using a raw "percent made" field, Create a calculated field: SUM([Made Shots]) / SUM([Attempts]) Then format as a percentage.


✅ The real combined shooting %: (5 + 30) / (10 + 100) = 31.8% That’s a huge difference. You need a weighted average to reflect the full picture.


🎯 Scenario: Player A: 50% (5/10) Player B: 30% (30/100) Average = (50 + 30) / 2 = 40% ❌ But that’s misleading.


My NBA stats project had just tipped off when I hit a common mistake: 📉 Averaging percentages without weighting them. Sounds small — but it can throw off your whole analysis.


🏀 If you want to nail that buzzer beater on your dashboard… Don’t average percentages — do this instead. (A Tableau mini-tutorial) 🧵👇 #DataAnalysis #TableauTips #NBAStats
