Best of the Tableau Web... July 2014

With the release of Tableau 8.2 products in June, it's not surprising to see lots of blogs in the month of July to take advantage of one of our latest new feature, Story Points. Enjoy this month's collection with topics covering heart pounding World Cup results, epic visuals, and of course your monthly tips and tricks to help you solve those nagging technical challenges.
