Introduction Welcome back to Workout Wednesday! If you’re joining us for the first time, welcome! We present you with a challenge, a dataset to recreate the challenge, and a solution video or file.

Introduction This week’s challenge is inspired by one of the dashboards in The Big Book of Dashboards, by Steve Wexler, Jeffrey Shaffer, and Andy Cotgreave. If you’re not familiar with it, the BBOD is a tremendous resource of tools and concepts you can apply to real world business scenarios, and you can learn more at …

This week we are going to be recreating a recent Tableau challenge from Sean Miller that was featured in Week 11 of this year’s Tableau …

That is definitely the case for the “warming stripes” visualization which was used to show the change of global temperature over time. Using this as motivation, what if we created a …
Introduction For this workout, we are visualizing data in a scatterplot in a bit of a non-traditional manner. This week marks 26 years since Ella Fitzgerald, the “Queen of Jazz”, passed away. So we are visualizing melodies to a few of her songs. My approach is a bit abstract – not quite sheet music but …
Introduction This week you are invited to build a horizon chart of the arctic ice extent–the amount of ice on the arctic ice cap. Data comes from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. In case you are not familiar with the horizon chart, a nice definition can be found here on Nathan Yao’s Flowing …
