Welcome to the Tableau section of my blog, where I share my knowledge and experience with one of the world’s most popular data visualization tools. As someone who has worked with and used Tableau for years, I’m passionate about helping others master this powerful tool and make the most of its capabilities.
In this section, you’ll find a variety of tutorials on topics such as building visualizations, creating dashboards, and using Tableau’s advanced features. I’ll also share stories and insights from my time working with Tableau, including tips and tricks for getting the most out of the tool.
Whether you’re new to Tableau or an experienced user looking to take your skills to the next level, these tutorials and stories will give you the practical knowledge and insight you need to succeed. I believe Tableau has the power to change the way we think about and interact with data, and I’m excited to share that vision with others.
So join me on this journey as we explore the world of Tableau together and discover new ways to unlock the full potential of your data.

Visual traceroute (aka. tracert) from Frankfurt to Ukraine shows redirection via Russia
Earlier today I read the news from NetBlocks (via Reuters) that since the weekend parts of the Ukrainian internet traffic are rerouted via Russia. To be precise, it’s about Ukrainian Kherson Oblast, which is occupied by Russia since March.
Now I wanted to trace the internet route myself and ideally visualize it. Here I came across the service of GeoTraceroute, which does a great job in visualizing traceroutes (aka. tracert). For the trace, I chose Frankfurt as starting point, and skynet.ua, the local internet provider in Kherson, as the endpoint.
Of course, you can also include the URL of GeoTraceroute as a web element in your Power BI report or Tableau dashboard and parameterize it for dynamic interactions. You can see the format as in my example:
The publisher of Decisively Digital, Wiley, has informed me that our book is now officially nominated for the prestigious Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2021.
The nomination itself is a very big achievement. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we win this award!
Thank you, everyone, for making this possible — and for the uplifting and inspiring words:

Alexander Loth featured in BNN regarding his career boost at CERN
The world’s largest particle accelerator not only unleashed hidden particles but also unlocked my career growth. As a young data scientist, my journey at CERN was a career boost that laid the foundation for my future endeavors. Read about my first day at Microsoft here.
Der Daten-Verarbeiter: Der weltgrößte Teilchenbeschleuniger war für Alexander Loth ein Karriere-Turbo
BNN, 14.07.2021
Today in the news:
A Career Turbocharged at CERN: CERN offered more than just research opportunities. Working at CERN was a defining moment for me. The cutting-edge technology, incredible talent, and the massive amount of data were the catalysts that propelled my career to new heights.
Data as the Common Thread: My time at CERN reinforced my belief in the transformative power of data. „Data is the common thread that runs through my professional life.“ From CERN to Tableau, and now at Microsoft, my passion for data continues to drive my career forward.
Decisively Digital – A New Publication: My new book, 📖 Decisively Digital (Amazon), published by Wiley, reflects my thoughts on digital transformation. It’s a culmination of my experiences and insights from various stages of my career.
I am grateful for my journey from CERN, via Tableau, to Microsoft. The opportunities, learning, and growth have been truly enriching, and I look forward to what the future holds. Stay connected and follow my journey on Twitter and LinkedIn.
