2019 Week 12: Customer Retention

My personal favorite Workout Wednesday challenges are those that come straight from the workplace, this is one of those weeks. Just recently I was asked to produce a very similar visualization, but with the affordance of my good friend Alteryx. For this challenge, all of the data prep has to be done in Tableau, without any alterations to the base data source. Enjoy!

Concept

To get you started on the line chart, here is the concept of the visualization. If you were to single out customers who placed an order in any given week, what percentage of those same customers came back 1-week later, 4-weeks later, 12-weeks later?

Requirements

Dashboard Format: 900px by 500px
One sheet
30px padding on all sides
No duplicating, scaffolding, or other data source alterations allowed… just Superstore data as it is packaged
Make sure that the x-axis always displays weeks 0-12, even if a week does not have any returning customers
Match formatting as close as possible, and tooltips exactly as pictured… teal color is #499894

Dataset

This week uses the superstore dataset for Tableau 2018.3. You can get it here at data.world

After you finish your workout, share on Twitter using the hashtag #WorkoutWednesday2019 and tag @AnnUJackson, @LukeStanke, @lorna_eden, and @curtisharris_!
