Tableau AI Agent:  Unlock the Power of AI in Tableau- using IPL dataset

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a whirlwind of cricketing action, with spectacular catches, blistering boundaries, and nail-biting finishes. But when the dust settles, who truly emerges as the Most Valuable Player (MVP)? Is it simply the player with the most “Man of the Match” awards, or is there a deeper story hidden within the data?

In this blog post, we’ll embark on a data-driven journey to uncover the MVPs across IPL seasons from 2009 to 2017. And we’ll do it all without writing a single line of code, thanks to the magic of Tableau Agent.

Our Data: A Cricketing Treasure Trove

We have a rich dataset at our disposal, featuring every IPL player who has won at least one “Man of the Match” award. This dataset includes a wealth of information, including:

  • Player Name
  • Team Names
  • Match Winner
  • City
  • Date
  • Venue
  • Scores
  • Runs
  • Wickets Taken
  • And much more…

This granular data allows us to delve deep into player performance and unearth valuable insights.

Tableau Agent: Your AI-Powered Data Analyst

Tableau Agent is a revolutionary tool that allows you to analyze data using natural language. Simply ask questions, and Tableau Agent will generate insightful visualizations in response. It’s like having a data analyst at your beck and call, but without the need for coding expertise.

Uncovering the MVPs: A Step-by-Step Guide

 

  1. First Season: We begin by asking Tableau Agent to determine the first season in which each player bagged a “Man of the Match” award. This gives us a baseline for their career trajectory.
  2. Number of Awards: Next, we ask Tableau Agent to calculate the total number of “Man of the Match” awards each player has accumulated. This gives us a sense of their overall impact.
  3. Career Span: To understand how consistently players have performed over time, we ask Tableau Agent to calculate the difference between the first and last seasons in which they won an award.
  4. Average Awards per Season: To account for varying career lengths, we calculate the average number of awards per season for each player. This normalizes the data and allows for fairer comparisons.
  5. Filtering for Consistency: Finally, to identify the most consistently valuable players, we filter for those with an average of more than two awards per season. This highlights the players who have consistently delivered exceptional performances.
