Introduction
September 2021 is community month. Every year since 2018 we’ve invited individuals to share challenges with the community. This year we’ll have some amazing challenges from the Tableau and Power BI communities.
But before we get there I’ll be sharing the following challenge: We’ll make a modified dot plot comparing sales for the current year (2021) with the prior year (2020).
I like using this view as an alternative to bar-on-bar charts.
