Using Custom Shapes in Tableau - Tableau in Two Minutes

Custom shapes can help personalize or add some extra flair to the visualizations you create. As I mention in the video, I'm a HUGE fan of smiley faces and frowny faces for their impact on the way people view data and KPIs in particular.
You can find custom shapes from a number of different sources. I mention a couple in the video, and it's worth downloading a number of different options if you regularly create dashboards.
In this video, we use a set of flags from Flaticon to create a visualization showing how the Formula 1 World Championship travels from country to country.
