2023 Week 43 | Sea Ice Extend

Introduction

For this week’s #WorkoutWednesday we’ll recreated one of the PowerBI challenges from earlier in the year. In week 30, Shannon created a visualisation of sea ice extend in the Antarctic. Initially I thought this would be a rather easy challenge in CRMA but I ended up with a few tricky nuts to crack.

Requirements

  • Create a data source that enables the requirements and the dashboard below
  • Line chart
    • Show one line per year
    • Show all months in each year in the correct order
    • Use 3 letter month names
    • colour all years in grey
    • colour 2023 in red
    • colour the median value for each month in dark blue
    • match axis formatting
    • create a tooltip that shows the selected value and the overall median and includes a bar chart showing the same values
  • Year selector
    • Allow the user to select any year in the data set
    • Colour the selected year red instead of 2023
  • Title
    • Match formatting
    • change the red “2023” to the selected year, if the user has a different year selected

The resulting dataset should look something like this:

Dataset

You can find the dataset here: https://data.world/genetis/wow-2023-43-sea-ice-extend

It’s the same data as in the original challenge, however I have precalculated the median across all years for you as that might be a challenge in its own in the future…

Data for the year 9999 represents the median across the dataset.
