Introduction
The Olympics continue this week, so we’re continuing with an Olympic theme this week as well. When thinking about a challenge, a Makeover Monday I did in 2018 came to mind (which was inspired by this viz by Rody Zakovich). But that one was the Winter Olympics, so we’re going to build a version for the Summer Olympics, looking at how old medalists in each discipline have been, with the ability to highlight an age and older, in case you want to establish a new training routine (like this US gold medalist).
Requirements
- Dashboard Size: 1200 x 2000
- Create a 5 (wide) x 7 (long) view of medalists by age by Sport, sorted alphabetically by Sport
- Header for each chart should include the Sport, average medaling age for that sport, as well as avg age by medal, and youngest/oldest medal winners
- Shade the charts so that ages greater than or equal to a parameter entry are gray
- The colors I used are:
- Gold – #f5c75f
- Silver – #d3d3d3
- Bronze – #ba7e45
- Match formatting and tooltips
It looks like a Trellis Chart, but it’s not built in one sheet. Nail the top row (formatting, tooltips, structure, etc.), then move on to the remaining rows.
Dataset
