Tableau | Data visualisation Volvo Ocean Race Tableau Dashboard Animated
An animated Tableau dashboard tracking the Volvo Ocean Race across the map.
- An animated dashboard which was animated using pages in Tableau and sped up really fast to bring it to life.
Tim shows an animated Tableau dashboard tracking the Volvo Ocean Race, demonstrating how the Pages shelf can turn static route data into a moving visualisation across a map.
- Animating a map with Pages 0:00
You put a time-based field (date or sequence) onto the Pages shelf so Tableau steps through each frame in order, animating the movement of points across the map rather than showing them all at once.
Reach for this when you have location data that changes over time — routes, journeys, or progress — and want to show movement rather than a static snapshot.
How this Rollup was made provenance & method

Model + prompt + video is everything you'd need to recreate a Rollup like this yourself. The one thing we don't share is the transcript.
