Introduction
Community Month is back! 🎉
To kick things off, Hideaki Yamamoto and Tomoki Goda from Japan Tableau User Group are bringing a challenge inspired by one of the Japan Tableau User Group’s beloved events.
Here’s a message from both of them!
Meet “Viz Tsukurima Show!” (VizTS), a fan-favorite speed-viz event hosted by JTUG.
It kicked off in 2020 and has been held annually ever since.
The idea is simple: you get a theme and a dataset, then you build a Tableau viz as fast as you can.
It’s all about quick decisions, clean design, and having fun with a little time pressure.
The requirements in this post are based on a real VizTS challenge from last year’s competition.
In that match, they read the requirements first, with the dataset already connected—and then they had just 10 minutes to build.
Want to try it the same way? Read the requirements, connect to the data, start your timer, and build.
When you’re done, shout “Tabutta!”—a playful made-up word that blends “Tab” (from Tableau) with a Japanese expression meaning “I did it!” or “Done!”.
