Introduction This week’s challenge was inspired by a suggestion that I made to a colleague when he faced the problem of having a small space to work with, but wanting to give the end user the ability to drill-down a bit deeper. His idea was to only show the Top 5 within a selected Sub-Category. …

Introduction This week’s challenge is inspired by a Makeover Monday I did a couple years ago, which was inspired by Lindsey Poulter‘s Set Actions workbook. But rather than use the same soccer data, I’m continuing to celebrate the start of baseball season by comparing two Major League Baseball greats. The overall challenge here is to …
