Introduction
I was looking through the new features available in version 2024.3 recently, and came across Spatial Parameters. Since I had some spatial data from a couple challenges ago, I decided to give it a try and see if I could make it work.
For a quick intro of Spatial Parameters, I suggest TableauTim’s introductory video.
Requirements
- Size 1000×800
- 2 sheets
- Create a map with school district boundaries
- Create a filter for the State (school_district.Statename) to just look at one at a time
- Create a map with school locations
- Create a Spatial Parameter and a parameter action that populates the parameter from the school district map
- Filter the school location map based on the spatial parameter value
- Use Dynamic Zone Visibility to hide the school location map when no districts are selected
Dataset
This challenge uses two public datasets from data.gov. I downloaded the .zip Shapefiles from the School District Characteristics and School Neighborhood Poverty Estimates. (We’re not looking into the poverty status of school neighborhoods this time, just using this set for school location points.)
