TABLEAU-STYLE CROSSFILTER DASHBOARDS

Similar to this popular Tableau feature, selecting data in Plotly dashboards can now filter all dashboard charts with the selected data.

To get you started, we’ve prepared 7 crossfilter tutorials with public health data on Plotly’s Github:

code-free report authoring with d3 charts

Plotly dashboards now have a “Report Mode” so that you can compose and share online reports with D3.js graphs, all without writing any code. Take a look at this remake of a Goldman Sachs financial report on Plotly:

new falcon release

Everybody’s been talking about Falcon, Plotly’s new open-source client for SQL. As an open-source project, Falcon is constantly improving and last week we pushed a version with:

  • Mac and Windows GUI installer (no longer need 7zip)
  • Reduced download size
  • Tons of bug fixes and UI polishes

Get this latest release on Plotly’s GitHub:

https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/releases/tag/v2.3.3-beta1

If you missed it, you can also familiarize yourself with Falcon by watching our Falcon webinar from 2 weeks ago.
