1 Comment / Tableau, Workout Wednesday / By

When I started Workout Wednesday I made a list of potential challenges. This challenge was the second challenge I wrote down. After more than 20 challenges I’ve finally gotten around to sharing it!

Requirements

  • Format: 1000px by 600px
  • Create a visualization with bar charts that show total sales, total profit, and total quantity by city-state (See below for state abbrevation calculation). Sort by sales.
  • Create a calculation that you can use as a filter that shows cities in groups of 10. Make sure the labels based on the rank i.e. the top ten are 1-10, the 2nd 10 are 11-20, ect.
  • Make sure the bar size remain proportional with the maximum value for each. Do not used a fixed axis.
  • Add a zero line for profit only.
  • Match formatting: Size 11 font, bar color #ED7470.

    • Dataset

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

    Hi,

    Thanks for the challenge! Struggling at the moment with the following:
    When I move to rank 11-20, the bars don’t get adjusted in relation to the max values, but to the max value on this “page”.

    How do I achieve that?
