Bluffing the “Beer Prices at Oktoberfest” Tableau Dashboard with Microsoft Excel using Roll Over Tooltips and Web Actions
Recently we had an article visualizing the beer prices and beer price development at Oktoberfest with a Tableau dashboard: O'zapft Is!
Oktoberfest is long over already and there is peace in the valley of Munich again. Having said that, I would like to come back to this visualization once more. We had a couple of posts here on Clearly and Simply showing how to bluff Tableau’s great interactive features with Microsoft Excel:
Bluffing Tableau Actions with Microsoft Excel
Bluffing a Visual Cross-tab with Excel
The Next Level of Interactive Microsoft Excel Dashboards
Microsoft Excel Site Catchment Analysis
Drawing on this tradition, today’s article presents an Excel workbook emulating the Tableau Oktoberfest Dashboard. The technique behind this bluff is a very clever approach my blogging colleague Jordan Goldmeier published in several articles over at his Option Explicit VBA Blog.
Stealing Jordan’s idea, today’s post shows how to recreate the Oktoberfest Beer Price Tableau dashboard with Microsoft Excel, as always including the Excel workbook for free download.
