Frequency of Orgasm between Sexual Orientations #MakeoverMonday

The #MakeoverMonday data set of week11 2017 consists of a very small amount of data. But it is very interesting and revealing. Here is the source article. It is about the likelihood or frequency that people experience orgasm in their relationship.

The research sample size is 52,588 in which people are grouped by gender (Men,Women) and sexual orientation (Hetero, Homo, Bi).

The observations are derived from the viz:
-By frequency and gender, 4 clusters can be formed:
*Heterosexual men, other men, lesbians, other women.
-The frequencies of "other women" are substantially lower.
-Heterosexual men & lesbians' frequencies are noticeably higher in their respective gender.
-Women's frequency is lower in general than men's.
-Heterosexuals have the biggest discrepancy between men & women.
-Homosexuals have similar frequencies regardless of gender.

Jake and I collaborated on a dashboard. He told me that he learnt a way to create an in-place help page in Tableau. He first saw it at a conference somewhere and couldn't recall who the speaker was. So I am blogging here about it but the credit goes to somebody else. If anyone knows who the original creator is, leave a comment below.

The key idea is to float a semi transparent worksheet on top of the dashboard, where a help text box is strategically placed on top of each chart. This way, we can explain how to view each chart and what data points are important, etc. This worksheet is collapsible by a show/hide button.

Below I would like to show how this worksheet can be constructed.

1. Sheet with a single data mark.

Double click the empty space in Marks panel and add two single quotes. Make the null pill a text label. This creates a single null mark.
Set the view as "Entire View"

2. Create an show/hide button

Go to the target dashboard
Drag a floating vertical container to the dashboard, making it cover all the area of interest.
Drag the Single Null Mark sheet and drop it into the above container. Hide the sheet title.
Create an open/close button for the container and place the button at the top-right corner.

3. Add annotations

Format the sheet background opacity as 70% in the layout manager
Select area annotations and place them anywhere of interest.
Write help text and format it to highlight important messages.
The text can serve as functional guide and/or insight guide.

Here is an example. Feel free to download the workbook and explore. Click the "i" button at the top-right corner to view the in-place help.
