2023 Week 35 | Timeline dot plot

Introduction

One of the inciting factors for the CRMA WorkoutWednesday was this collaborative Tableau challenge last year. I attempted it in CRMA and actually got quite far. This week we’ll try something similar, with the hopes to be able to build on it for my next challenge in a couple of weeks. (We’ll see how that goes).

Requirements

  • Create a recipe the transforms the data to be used in this dashboard
    • There is an “opportunity” and an “opportunity history” table
    • The history table has one record for each stage change that happened to any of the opportunities
  • Re-create the dashboard
    • Create coloured KPIs with the amount of all the opportunities that are currently in the according stage
    • Create a timeline dot plot with a row for each opportunity and a coloured dot for each time the opportunity changed its status
    • Match the formatting in the image below (colours, axis, etc.)
    • Match the tooltip

The resulting dashboard should look something like this:
