Not to Miss: The Startup India tableau at Republic Day 2020 parade

The commerce and industry ministry recently, in a written press briefing, said that it will showcase a tableau on Startup India, with an aim to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the nation. The tableau will be displayed at the Republic Day Parade this year, in a first.

The name of the tableau is ‘Startups: Reach for the Sky’. It is themed on the stages of the life-cycle of a startup and the multifarious elements of support provided by the government, the ministry said in a press statement.

“The front of the tableau depicts a creative mind, full of ideas to solve real world problems. The Startup India Tree, in the middle will represent different kinds of support given,” a government official from the Department of Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade (DPIIT), said in the statement.

The staircase will stand for the various stages of growth – those are – coming up with a concept, creating a prototype, preparing a business plan, building a team, launching into markets and eventually scaling up, an Economic Times report said.

The wheel will denote sectors of economy where Indians have driven and given a fillip to economic growth and created employment opportunities on a big scale, the statement read. The wheel and the map of India together depict the width and the depth of the Startup India movement in the country.

Startup India is a flagship initiative of the Narendra Modi government, conceived with the intention of building a strong environment to nurture innovation, drive sustainable economic growth and generate large scale employment opportunities and job openings.

“We have a million problems, but at the same time we have over a billion minds,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said about the flagship programme started in January, 2016. In October, 2019 Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Indian startup ecosystem will help India achieve the $5 trillion target for the economy set by the government.  

The objective is to inspire and motivate youth to follow their dreams to generate wealth and become job creators and not just job seekers. Under the Startup India Scheme, eligible companies can get recognised as startups by the ministry in order to access a host of tax benefits, easier compliance, IPR fast tracking and other incentives.

More than 26,000 startups from 551 districts of 28 States and 7 Union Territories have been recognized so far. “Working across IT, Industry 4.0, education, healthcare, agriculture, energy, finance, space, defence and all other sectors of economy, Indian startups have attracted substantial global investments and created more than 2,91,000 jobs,” it added.

Besides DPIIT, the Department of Financial Services, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, NDRF Ministry of Home Affairs, CPWD Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and Ministry of Shipping will also participate in the Republic Day parade.

The Alliance between MongoDB and Tableau Makes Visual Analysis Easier
 

After a volley of speculations, in 2015 the BIG revelation was made – MongoDB, the database for mammoth ideas has partnered with Tableau, the master in visual analytics to make visual analysis of rich JSON-like data structures easier directly in MongoDB. This is a fascinating telltale about a leader in modern databases for robust application development teaming with a leader in rapid-fire visual analytics to serve users’ better.

 

 

Recently, the two global tech players are again in the news – Tableau certified MongoDB’s connector for BI as a “named” connector, which means users for the first time can visually analyze rich JSON-like data structures incorporated with modern applications directly in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced. “Data is a modern software team’s greatest asset, so it needs to be easy for them to both store and visualize it in performant, flexible and scalable ways,” said Eliot Horowitz, CTO, MongoDB. He further added, “With Tableau’s certification of the MongoDB Connector for BI, executives, business analysts and data scientists can benefit from both the engineering and operational advantages of MongoDB, and the insights that Tableau’s powerful and intuitive BI platform make possible.”

Are You Trying to Ace Your Tableau Interview?

If you are looking to be hired as Tableau expert then you must be acquainted with these common interview questions and answers. These questions have been collected by the experts at DexLab Analytics who offer Tableau BI Certification training at the institute. These questions are to give you an idea of the types of questions you may be asked at an interview. Happy job hunting!

What do you understand by Data Visualization?

Data visualization is a much advanced, precise and ordered way of viewing large volumes of data. It is the way one visually represents data into graphs, charts and other illustrative aids, especially when you cannot define them textually. Through the various software applications like Tableau one can show various trends, patterns, correlations etc.

What are the main differences between a Tableau desktop and a Tableau server?

In Tableau desktop one can create workbooks for data visualizations but Tableau Servers are used to distribute the interactive workbooks or/and reports to the target audience. Users of Tableau servers can also edit and update workbooks and dashboards online on the Server but they cannot create new workbooks.

But there are limited options for editing in server as compared to desktop.

Differentiate between filters and parameters in Tableau.

The differences in these two features actually lie in their applications. With parameters one can allow users to insert their values, which can be integers, dates, floats, string these can be used for calculation purposes. But in filters one can only receive values which the user chooses to ‘filter by’ in the list, this cannot be used to perform calculations.

In them users can change the measures and dimensions in case of parameters but for filters this feature is not approved.

Common interview questions on Tableau:

  • Do you know the difference between Live Data and Extract Data in Tableau?

The best answer to this question: An ‘extract’ connection is a connection with a static database, which is refreshed every day/hour/period. In this case all data are copied from the data source to the Tableau Server. Refreshing the data source will not give you the latest data – you have to refresh the extract to get them.

A live connection will query the underlying data in the data source/database – refreshing the visualization will give you the latest results. In this case no data is copied to Tableau Server for pre-processing.

• Name a few of the different types of filters used in tableau.

The best answer to this question:

The 3 types of Filters in Tableau are:
1) Quick Filter
2) Data Source Filter
3) Context Filter

  • Can you tell me the difference between parameters and filters in Tableau?

The best answer to this question: The difference actually lies in the application. Parameters allow users to insert their values these can be float, integers, string, date that can be used in calculations. However, filters receive only values users choose to ‘filter by’ the list this cannot be used to perform calculations.

Users can dynamically change measures and dimensions in parameter but filters do not support of this feature.

  • How will you view underlying SQL Queries in Tableau?

The best answer to this question: Viewing underlying SQL Queries in Tableau can be done in two ways:

• Create a Performance Recording, to register performance information about the main events you interact with workbook. Users can view the performance metrics in a workbook created by Tableau.

Help> Settings and Performance> Start Performance Recording
Help> Setting and Performance > Stop Performance Recording

• Reviewing the Tableau Desktop Logs located at C:\Users\\My Documents\My Tableau Repository. For live connection to data source, you can check log.txt and tabprotosrv.txt files. For an extract, check tdeserver.txt file.

  • Do you know the difference between .(dot) twb and .(dot) twbx?

The best answer to this question: The .(dot) twb is the most common file extension used in Tableau, which presents an XML format file and comprises all the data present in each dashboard and sheet like what fields are used in the views, styles and formatting that are applied to a sheet and dashboard.

But this workbook does not contain any data. The Packaged Workbook merges the data in a Tableau workbook with the local data available (which is not on server). A. (dot) twbx serves as a zip file this includes custom images if any. Packaged Workbook allows users to share their workbook information with other Tableau Desktop users and let them open it in Tableau Reader.

  • How many maximum tables can you join in Tableau?

The best answer to this question: A maximum number of 32 tables can be joined in Tableau. A table size must also be limited to 255 columns (fields).
