Hi Sally

There is a North West Group who usually meet in Bolton but there is usually

only a couple of meetups a year (last was in November i think).

It would be great to start getting something a bit more regularly.

Brian

I agree!

Dan

I would love to attend one too. I got to an R meetup at HOME in Manchester. Would be great to have a tableau equivalent

Hi,

Me too, it seems even if we have a few, it'll be the start...I'm based on Oxford Street pretty much opposite Patisserie Valerie/Changos!  If anyone would like to meet this week, I have some time this week on Thursday during the day.  Evening stuff might be a little more challenging for me as I have little 'uns.

Ant

I would love to meet. I work on Oxford Road too.

fancy meeting up on Wednesday at lunch time?

Hiya Anthony,

Can’t do Wed-Thurs this week. Does Friday work?

Cheers,

Henri

Hi Henri,

Where would you like to meet?

I seem to remember that Font used to do an amazing blue cheese burger...if it's still open, would you fancy there?

And at what time?

Thanks,

Ant

Hi Ant,

Sounds good – 1pm Friday.

Font on Mew Wakefield Street?

Cheers,

H

Yes, excellent...

If anybody else would like to join us, as Henri says, 1pm, The Font on New Wakefield Street.

Cheers,

Ant

Hi Henri,

Could we meet at 12pm?  I've got a meeting i need to go to at 1pm now...(who organises meetings for a lunchtime - ha!)

Ant

It didn't happen in the end.  We kep t being unavailable at various times, so i think we just gave up!

I ultimately got pretty frustrated with Tableau as I know somethings I can do without any fuss in Excel can be incredibly difficult in Tableau.  It's served it's purpose for me though and there are now other people in the team that are dealing with Tableau...good luck with it though...and good luck getting a group together.

Thanks,

Ant

Ah I'm sorry to hear that. I've learned tricks over the years that have really helped with Tableau but not everything is initially obvious or straightforward. I'm now a real advocate of it's capabilities. If any of the Tableau people in your team would like to discuss tricks and tips as part of a local group, or even to share any difficulties that we may be able to address via Tableau Ideas (strength in numbers!) then please ask them to contact me. We're more than willing to host something here.

Many thanks for getting back to me, and best wishes in your new area of work.
