#WOW2025 Week 33: Can you recreate this Marginal Histogram

Introduction

I created this viz to show off some crazy golf scores from my latest cohort at The Data School, especially to show off the fact I won.

But I added in some Table Calculations and other bits to add some context, I thought it would make a good challenge.

Note: Tableau Public has done something weird with my Table Calcs which has been raised with the Dev Team, but it works perfectly fine in desktop

Requirements

  • Dashboard Size 1300×800
  • 3 worksheets
  • Create a heat map showing the scores for each hole
  • Create an Average for each hole and the average for each person (including the tie break holes which were 10 & 11)
  • To create the sorting you will need to calculate:
    • the score up until the 9th hole
    • the tie break scores (hole 10 & 11)
    • the Average score (not including the tie break holes)
    • The lowest that person scored)
  • The arrows represent consistency compared to the prior hole.
    • Straight arrow means same number of shots
    • diagonally up means more shots than previous
    • diagonally down means less shots than previous
  • Another icon is for when Agnes got a hole in 1 (not including the 9th hole as that had minus figures available)
  • And finally the last icon is when someone had the max number of shots (10) on any one hole.
  • Format how you like
