The recent article FIFA World Cup Statistics with Tableau included a dashboard visualizing statistics of the FIFA World Cups from 1930 to 2006 by team, provided on Tableau Public.
Today’s post is a follow-up to that article: FIFA World Cup scorers statistics from 1930 to 2006 on two different dashboards.

Daniel Ferry’s blog Excel Hero is a source of permanent inspiration for me. In a recent article called Animate cumulative data with Tableau, I described how to use a custom SQL data connection to show cumulative data using Tableau’s page shelf. This post was inspired by one of Daniel’s great articles: Excel Location Mapping.
In true tradition of stealing Daniel’s ideas, today’s short post contains another replica of one of his Excel workbooks using Tableau Software: Daniel’s implementation of the "1,000 Blocks" sculpture by Curtis Steiner (unfortunately without the soundtrack, of course…).
Here is an animation of a selection of 10 out of 78 slides:
Tableau Public does not support the slide show of pages using the playback controls. Thus, I decided not to publish on Tableau Public. Instead, here is the Tableau packaged workbook for free download:
Download 1,000 Blocks Celtic Muse (Tableau Packaged Workbook, 2640.7K)
To open this workbook you need Tableau 5.2 (14-day free trial) or the free Tableau Reader.
Last, but not least:
Daniel, many thanks again for sharing your fabulous work, for the time you took to review my Tableau workbook and for your permission to use your idea here. Special thanks go also to Daniel’s wife and daughter who helped him with the encoding of 78,000 (!) tiles. Thank you very much.
I have to admit, I am a little late: The FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa already started yesterday. And of course there have already been a couple of interesting posts on visualizing the World Cup statistics elsewhere:
Chandoo had a couple of nice posts using Microsoft Excel: FIFA World Cup Excel Spreadsheets, Football Betting Sheet Template and Official FIFA World-cup Soccer Balls since 1930 in an Excel Chart.
Ross Perez provided a very interesting visualization of the History of the World Cup on Tableau’s own blog, focused on winning and tie percentages.
Better late than never. Today’s post includes my 2 cents: a visualization of the FIFA World Cup Statistics since 1930, using Tableau Software and focused on the performance and match statistics per team.
