A friend of mine directed me to your videos as a resource for Tableau and it was some of the best advice I've ever been given. Love learning from you! Thank you! 🙂
🌎I run a lot of Tableau geospatial training sessions and never knew Hexbining was this easy! Thanks Andy! Can't wait to incorporate this into my training sessions 🗺
I feel much more comfortable in Tableau after following your tips Andy☺️. Thanks for sharing such amazing techniques and explaining so nicely. Respect from India 👍

👏 great tutorial, thanks for sharing. I like this format with some introductory use case examples before diving into how to create them. And then it helped me remember the core stages in the process by having a second example too.
I never thought Hexbin Map would be so easy and the concept before creating it was really helpful... Thanks, Andy again for the informative video. If you can incorporate these 'when to use and when not to use ' segment for all your videos it will be really helpful... 🙂❄
Andy, great video. 😎would love to hear a discussion of this method where you have an original set of lat,lon data versus when you create a hex map using a self defined set of coordinates (like when you want a map of the US with AK and HI nearby) would like to hear more about each of these cases.
😎 good question! I see them as different use cases. In the latter, you are predefining the location of each mark. The hexbin method allows you to be more prescriptive with how any marks you show and it also put the marks closer to where they truly are geographically.
Thanks for explaining the usage do’s and don’ts in the beginning of the video Andy! I am working on analyzing and visualizing our Home and Auto insurance customer retention based on the premium by on CBSA. I am going to try this out and send you a screen capture 🤩 Do you have this workbook on Tableau Public? I was going to download shapes from it. ☺️
Thanks for pointing that out. I've added it to the description. Here you go - public.tableau.com/app/profile/andy.kriebel/viz/HowtoCreateaHexbinMapinTableau/Title
Hi Andy, Thanks for the video, its super helpful! I tried using the same methodology to create my hexbin map. But I ran into some problems after using hexbins. (1) I tried to filter a crosstab using filter actions (by selecting the hexbins on hexbin map worksheet) , it resulted in having null values in a separate crosstab (for some of the hexbins) . If i display the same measures as the crosstab as tooltip in the hexbin map worksheet, all the measures will appear without errors. (2) Using the same action filter , I tried to perform a LOD calculation using hex bin x and hex bin y. The LOD calculations return unexpected numbers. Not sure if you encounter similar issues before?
I have never built one, but here are two methods from some of my Data School consultants. www.thedataschool.co.uk/gwilym-lockwood/coxcomb-charts-alteryx-tableau-one-stop-blog-shop/ m.th-cam.com/video/iFQMefl1vII/w-d-xo.html
What if Longitude and Latitude are not already on the dataset and are automatically generated by Tableau? I want to visualize a global map but I can't find any shape file.
🧐 you must have lat/lon in the data set. However, if you put zip code on your map, select all records in the view, export the data, you get the lat/lon of each zip code.

Have fun!
Thanks for this straight forward explanation. I can see many uses for hexbin maps.
⚡Coming from a GIS background to BI analytics, I never imagined this was possible in Tableau :D Thank you for the awesome tutorial!

Awesome tutorial! Just finished basics of Tableau and jumped into your channel. Its super useful. Thank you so much.
Great to hear!
👏 Amazing tutorial ! Thanks for sharing this to the community
I was looking for this tip for a long time - very useful for me - thank you very much 😊 👍🏻
Your videos give a lot of inspiration.
Glad you like it 😊👍🏻

🙂 very cool, Andy!
Thanks! 🙂
Great to learn this Andy..could u plz tell what is the Adjuster parameter doing here or could u just tell on that
The parameter allows you to adjust the number of hexagons so that you can get it to look the way you’d like.
Ok got..@@vizwiz thanks👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻
🤫 awesome explanation 👏
Thank you Mohammad! 🤫
👋Thanks Andy, never thought to use hex bins before this.
No problem 👋🏻
Great Tutorial! Thanks a lot
You're welcome!

Andy, where do you get your custom shapes from?
I tend to get there on this website. jrgraphix.net/r/Unicode/25A0-25FF

Thanks for the video, but how to generate longtitude and latitude attribute? My data source doesn't have these two attributes. thanks
You need them to use this for geographic data. It’s also possible to do this with a scatterplot.
@@vizwiz Thank you. I will figure out alternatives.

Not sure if you encounter similar issues before?
could you please share the steps from the beginning to create Hexabin Map in Tableau.
The steps are in the video.
@@vizwiz Thank you so much.
Does it work if the Latt and Long are system generated? Or only if they are native in the data?
Native to the data. You can’t use tableau’s automatically generated fields in calculations.
👍 Great
Thanks!! 👍🏻
I’d like to learn how to create a coxcomb chart that can be used to show how different parts of a category make up a whole. Thank you 😊

Unfortunately those built in lat/lon cannot be used in calculations.

🧐 is it possible to build these using an other known geographic identity like postal code (Zipcode) which doesn't have an X or Y?
🧐 you must have lat/lon in the data set. However, if you put zip code on your map, select all records in the view, export the data, you get the lat/lon of each zip code.
