Golf Solutions Designed at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk

 Many sports tend to be biassed towards one sex or another. For example, football is a sport dominated by men and does not become much more masculine than rugby! On the other side of the fence, netball definitely falls into the women's category. However, there are some sports that share gender gracefully, which appeal to both men and women. Reddit live streaming Golf is undoubtedly one of these sports and has no age limits. Spread across courses in the UK you will find some unlikely groups of people bound by their love for this great outdoor sport. Some will play every day, while others will only play on the weekends, perhaps as a way to relieve the stress of a difficult week at the office. No golfer tends to join a club and membership packages vary widely in price. Most golf clubs simply offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offers a bit of flexibility.

Analyzing Google Analytics data in Tableau

Google Analytics is the  most widely used website statistics service. It provides a great online platform to analyze your web site traffic. Although it provides powerful charts, reports and dashboards to analyze data, if you have needed to use it professionally, you hit its limitations frequently and do the following : Export the Google Analytics data to Excel and try to analyze it there. This manual and tedious process is always needed if you are trying to merge Google Analytics data and some other data in your analysis.

We know that Tableau provides a great data visualization tool and we could leverage its power to analyze Google Analytics data. But to bring the data into Tableau was tedious; you should export it first (to Excel manually or by using Google Analytics API and lots of scripting). Not anymore! With Tableau version 8 onwards, Tableau Software has released Google Analytics connector which makes it quite easy to pull in your Google Analytics data into Tableau. This does not only allow you to create incredibly interactive dashboards to analyze GA data but also allows you to integrate Google Analytics data with some other offline and online data to add great value to your web site analytics effort.

In this short video below, Ellie Fields from Tableau Software, demonstrates how powerful and interactive analytics opportunities Tableau brings to web traffic analysis. In the 3 minutes win Google Analytics challenge, she brings it some data from Google Analytics using the connector and then merges it with some offline data to create an interactive Tableau dashboard.

If you want to try it on your own, you can download Tableau here.

Tableau Google Analytics Connector makes it very easy to create web site traffic analysis dashboard

Tableau can import a Google Analytics extract into the Tableau fast in-memory data engine. This allows you to explore your web data at the speed of thought by easy drag & drop. You can Tableau Server and Tableau Online to build and store multiple small extracts of un-aggregated data. By reusing extracts you don’t have to pull every time from the Google Analytics interface and hit the 500,000 limit per individual per call. Start with a fixed date range and schedule automatic updates.

You can enhance the web-analytics data by Salesforce.com, spreadsheets, databases, cubes, Hadoop, or more. Then you can easily publish securely for your department or entire organization to use. Set permissions for dashboard, workbook, and data-source access by role and group or for individual named users.
