A Spotfire and Alteryx Blog
Welcome to The Analytics Corner! Some of you may be new to my page, and others may know me from my work on the Petro.ai (formerly Ruths.ai) Data Shop Talk blog. All DST content is collated and organized here. Please note, DST has changed their theme since I worked for them, the posts look a little rough as a result. My goal here is to help you turn your analytics clutter into clarity. This is a Spotfire and Altyerx blog.

Recent Updates
The About Me page got a refersh. Jacob is no longer writing for the blog, and I’ve filled in a lot of details on my personal and professional history.
I had a strong start to my Learning the Spotfire Expression Language series. It tapered off for a few weeks in leiu of more Alteryx content, but I will finish it, so stay tuned for more on Axis Names in visualizations.
