The Data School has been paramount to our success at JLL. It has allowed us to bring in highly skilled Tableau and Alteryx consultants. It saves considerable time trying to recruit contractors as I know their skills and training are to the highest standard. Over the past 5 years my team has developed analytical insights which have generated multi million dollar savings of which a considerable amount can be attributed to the Data School consultants we have had working on projects.

The First Fortnight
Wow, two weeks in already! The time has already flown when I look back, although every single day has been a real challenge for me to be honest. I am not a native to coding and data admittedly, so my learning curve was always going to be steeper perhaps than most

Moving Average Using Simple DAX Calculations with Variables.
Before going into the calculation itself, it is worth briefly covering variables. VAR allows a value to be calculated once and then referenced multiple times within the same measure, improving both performance and readability

What I Wish I'd Known About Portfolios Before Becoming a Consultant
I've been a consultant (in training) for about two months now, which means my experience is still pretty thin on paper. But, I think a portfolio matters even more when you're new to a role. When you don't have a long track record, your projects are the only thing that can speak for you

Live or extract: decide before you build
Every time you connect Tableau Desktop to data, two radio buttons sit in the top right of the Data Source page: Live and Extract. The default is Live, and it is easy to never touch it
