Colin’s help has been indispensable. He has provided us with a wide range of advice and training – not just in data visualisation, where he excels, but also in data prep and modelling. He has helped us unlock the potential of Tableau Prep, build robust relational databases in Tableau, and transition from using unpivoted data in Excel to pivoted (i.e. columns to rows) data in Tableau.
