What's in store for Q4

Viz Extensions updates (KPI, Tree, Polar, Radar, Legend)

Hey,

As we enter the last quarter of the year, we have a few updates about existing Viz Extensions and a sneak peek at what’s coming soon!

Lots of things are brewing in the background aside from our extensions, but sadly, we’ll have to wait a bit to share everything. We are having a lot of fun working with new APIs, and we can’t wait to demo this soon!

The best place to see the announcement live will be at the DataFam Europe conference in London. I have the honor and surprise to be one of the highlighted speakers, so I’ll make sure to make worthy session!

DataFam Europe 2025 | 2–3 December 2025 | London

DataFam Europe is back! Roll up your sleeves and dig into two in-viz-orating days of Tableau’s latest innovations, hands-on training, peer-led sessions, and more with the Tableau Community.

We hope to see you there!

Now, let’s focus on the Viz Extension updates.

Viz Extensions updates

Public, closer than ever

Everything is now ready on our side for the Viz Extensions to run on Tableau Public. The last step is for Tableau to update Public to 2025.3. After that, we’ll be 100% live!

As a demo, you can check here our Globe Path extension running natively on Tableau Public without any hack! Soon you’ll be able to do the same with all our sixteen extensions.

Existing Extensions Updates (KPI, Tree, Polar)

Our updates are automatically applied if you purchased our extension. On Tableau Public, we are working on a monthly release with Tableau so they might not be all there if you are using Tableau Exchange.

KPI - Our KPI Card extension got a big update! You can click on the evolution chart to filter the rest of your dashboard! You can also now hide the KPI itself if you want to show the evolution with nicer chart types than Tableau allows.

Tree - The second update is about the Tree Diagram. We improved the labels' padding to be automatic depending on the size of the circles, with the option to change to manual and specify it precisely. You can also zoom and pan in the tree just as in the network, holding CTRL/CMD.

Polar/Radar - We added the option to display a label that is different than the value in the chart. That feature was requested a few times, especially for sports analytics. You can now show the percentile as the value, and the actual amount in the labels. To do that, drag and drop a second field in Values and use the option in the Format window.

All Extensions - Finally, we corrected some bugs in the color legends that were not updating according to your filters.

Upcoming Viz Extensions

We have been working on many different extensions that we hope to release before the end of the year. This includes:

  • Line chart (to have these nice curves!)

  • Tournament Bracket (to be ready for the World Cup)

  • Ranked Area

  • Packed Circle

  • Sunburst

  • Ternary plot

So, good stuff coming! Can’t wait to share more!

We are in Mexico 🇲🇽 for the rest of October, so sorry for the strange publishing time. Now that things have settled on our personal side, we hope to be more consistent with the newsletter!
