Introduction
I often use the #datafam community as inspiration for my #WOW challenges, as it gives me the perfect opportunity to try out a particular technique or visualisation style, which I hope you all then benefit from too 🙂
This week’s challenge was inspired by this blog post by the Flerlage Twins, which in turn was inspired by other members of the #datafam.
So for this week, we’re going to build an alternative to a stacked bar chart, but make use of some English Premier League data instead (a recurring theme for me this year 🙂 ).
Requirements
- Size 1200 x 800
- 1 sheet
- Only show data for the last 5 seasons in the dataset and for the following teams : Manchester City, Manchester Utd, Arsenal & Chelsea
- Display bars of the total points cumulated by each of the 4 teams across the last 5 seasons.
- Label the bar with the team and the total points
- Sort the bars so the team with the highest cumulated points is listed first
- Ensure there is noticeable spacing between the bars
- Within each bar, display bars representing the actual points the team accumulated per season.
- Label the bars with the points
- Colour based on the team’s home colour – I used:
- Manchester City #a0cbe8
- Manchester Utd #b8163a
- Arsenal #e15759
- Chelsea #4e79a7
- Match tooltips and formatting
Dataset
The data was originally sourced from Kaggle.com but is available from here.
