And when you get your first one (or tenth one), it means the absolute world!īased on the data compiled by Iron Viz winner, Will Sutton, using Tableau Public APIs, we know that the first VOTD was selected in late 2010. It provides a source of inspiration, learning, and community connection. VOTD vizzes are seen by thousands of people worldwide. Featured vizzes are added to the Tableau Public website, shared via social media streams, and sent out via email to VOTD subscribers. What is Viz of the Day?Įvery weekday, the Tableau Public team selects an outstanding viz as Viz of the Day (VOTD). I should also note that David Murphy (Datasaurus Rex) has wrote about VOTD in the past, a blog post which I will be sharing more about later. I think it's okay to have a goal to get a VOTD, but it's important to not be discouraged if this does not happen as there are simply so many factors and so many amazing authors across the globe. Your goal should be to learn, grow your skills, to gain understanding of new subjects, and inspire others. It is important to know that getting a VOTD should not be your singular goal. For that reason, the guidelines set forth in this blog post are really only as good as the time in which it was written.Īs a disclaimer, I have been given the blessing of the Tableau Public team to write this blog post, but please note that these are my words, not the words of Tableau. Also, note that requirements have changed over time and will continue to evolve.

Although this guide will help you understand the criteria, following it perfectly doesn't guarantee your viz will become a VOTD. In this blog post, I will be discussing Tableau Public's Viz of the Day (VOTD), what it is, practices that will eliminate your workbook from being selected for VOTD, and things that will improve your chances of being selected for VOTD. Pictured above are VOTDs from Will Sutton, Ethan Lang, Nicole Klassen, Luke Abraham, Sam Parsons, Chimdi Nwosu, Johanna Josodipuro, Fuad Ahmed, Julianne Kelso, Ha PL, Priya Padham, and Saverio Rocchetti
