Community Appreciation - Simon Runc
Rody Zakovich Oct 8, 2015 5:06 AMHello Everyone!
In honor of TCC15, I wanted to start a series of Community Appreciation talks for the month of October.
Each day, I will be writing about individuals in our community who go above and beyond to help solve questions and share knowledge.
I believe there are several individuals who dedicate many hours (And sometimes brain cells) to help make our community be so great! And I just want to recognize them for there contributions.
Though I have several people in mind, I don't want this to be solely "MY" appreciation, but the community's. So please feel free to email people who you want to give a BIG Thank You to, OR (If you want to) volunteer to write up on somebody one day this month.
You can reach me anytime at RodyZakovich@gmail.com
Ok, now on to some recognition!
Today I want to recognize another one of our Tableau Forum Ambassadors, Mr.Simon Runc
Simon, along with Mark Fraser are what I like to call our Euro Bash Brother Ambassadors (Trademark pending). He is always active in the community, I mean always. No matter what time it is, Simon is willing to jump in and help out with any questions. He is a consistent pleasure to work with, and a great asset to our community. He always provides insightful descriptions and example workbooks, that help make things clear for all users. Also, Simon never leaves users out in the cold. I've started some interesting conversations over the past few months, but no matter how off the wall they might be, Simon always jumps in and provides great observations and opinions.
On top of all of the quality work Simon gives on the Forum side of things, he also provides a ton of valuable content in our Workbook and Calculation Libraries. His most recent workbook is beautiful both aesthetically and functionally
Sheet Swapping using Dashboard Actions (...or the Illusion of a Full Outer Join on Blended Data)
In addition, his company recently started a new blog, that already has some great content. You're gonna want to add this to your blog roll, I know I have!

So Simon, I want to say THANK YOU! for all the amazing work you do to make our community great!
Best regards,
