My data visualization journey started in early 2019 when I was introduced to Tableau through my then role. It was then I became addicted to the tool and was throwing all the .csv’s and SQL connections I could at the tool.
I quickly learned I needed to enhance my knowledge and skillset of the tool and data visualization practices, so I started searching for ways to do so.
One way I found was participating in Workout Wednesday’s, a weekly data visualization challenge published by a team of experts with exceptional knowledge and experience.
This visualization below is one of the first I did through these challenge, back in week 51 of 2019. The initial visualization, in which the challenge was to recreate it, can be seen here.
Even though I didn’t create this dashboard from scratch, I wanted to share it as I love the simple, yet useful design that display so much information in an easy to understand way. This challenge also required creating custom highlight actions that I think enhance the user experience and understanding even more, giving greater visibility to any object being hovered over or selected.
