Introduction
This week I was challenged with building a chart which shows an Adjusted target and the missing pipeline if targets were not met. So I challenge you, can you adjust the targets and show missing pipeline from the adjusted target.
Requirements
- Dashboard Size: 800 x 600 px
- # of Sheets – 3 or Less
- Use data BLENDING not JOINING for targets at monthly level
- Only show data for 2020.
- Show sales for everything that has been Closed Won vs the Actual Target for that month
- This should be up to but NOT including the current month
- Show sales for everything that has been closed won OR is in the pipeline (everything that isn’t closed) vs Target for that month
- This should include current month as opportunities are still in the pipeline
- Create the Adjusted Target
- This should be based on the sales value for Closed Won opportunities and the target value, for up to but NOT including the current month (April)
- The difference should then be distributed onto the remaining months (9)
- For example, if YTD sales = 1000 but the target = 1900, difference is 900. This should be distribute across the 9 remaining months which means adding 100 onto each month left.
- Plot as a dashed line
- Once you have adjusted target, you can then create the Missing Pipeline and add that to the chart.
- Finally create a legend to show what each colour means
- Match Tooltips
Dataset
This week uses a made up dataset based on superstore. There is the sales pipeline and the monthly targets. You can get it here at data.world
