Starting From Scratch: My Honest Starting Point with Tableau
I’ll be real with you, when I opened Tableau for the first time and was introduced to what we actually do in it, my brain did a full reset. I vaguely remembered doing bar charts and donut charts back in school. I knew they existed. But what they actually represent? What problem they solve? Completely blank. And there’s no shame in admitting that I had to start from Level 1, and I’m saying that with full honesty and zero embarrassment. The first thing I did was break down my s

Septic is Not Just a Word — A Data Driven Look at Septic Shock
Remember that time you shrugged off a seemingly harmless scrape on your elbow? Most of the time its nothing and you move on. But I clearly remember the warning that my parents gave, that if I don’t clean and disinfect the wound, it may become Septic.

Building Interactive Data Visualization Dashboards Using Plotly and Dash
Introduction: When I started to explore the datasets, one thing I’ve noticed is that static charts are useful only up to a certain point; i.e., the raw numbers will not give the proper story. They help us understand the data initially, but as soon as someone wants to explore the information in more detail, we often end up creating multiple versions of the same chart. Why does interactivity matter? Let me explain with a simple example from the heart disease dataset. Suppose I

Outlier Detection in a Diabetes Dataset: A Visual and Statistical Approach
Introduction Whenever we work with real‑world data, especially medical data, the first thing we need to do is understand what the data is and how it look like. Before building any model, it’s important to check whether the dataset has unusual values, missing values, or anything that might affect the results later. Outliers are simply values that don’t fit in with the rest of the data — they may be much higher or lower than what we normally expect. In healthcare datasets, thes

Tabular Editor 2 — The Free Power BI Tool You Didn't Know You Needed
The moment I counted sixty measures waiting to be manually copied, I knew there had to be a better way.
Working in a team on Power BI projects sounds great in theory — everyone builds brilliantly in isolation, visuals looking sharp, measures working perfectly. Until that one painful moment arrives where it all needs to come together in a single file. I had sixty-plus calculated columns and measures across three visuals, one deadline, and absolutely zero intention of doing it
