1. Brain Teaser has been an interesting way to exercise your Tableau skills in the Tableau Community Forum. I think it would be fun to bring it to the Twitter sphere.

    Here I got one: 
    Create a full-year calendar with 2 rows of data (the 1st and last dates of the year).
    To create a linear calendar, you may find it easy. Here is the tricky part: The calendar view must be 4x3:
    • Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr
    • May, Jun, Jul, Aug
    • Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec
    Hints: all you need are data densification and table calculations.
    Optional and not required feature: add holidays.
    Click images to access the viz .

    A new version is available here.

    Have fun with Tableau! Let me know if you got a solution.

  2. The latest #MakeoverMonday 2018 Week14 project is about world wine production. One of our Makeover Monday Data Camp members Yanning Wang created a simple dashboard for this week. I think that jump plot can make this dashboard a bit more interesting. So, here is the result.

    It seems a great use case for the jump plot to visualize  YOY change. The amplitude of the jump is representing the scale of the change. The direction of the jump equals up or down. And jump plot is best used to visualize the difference between consecutive check points

    YOY change is what happened between two consecutive years. So the check points are the years. Note that the jump plot is based on the Sine function. You can use other math functions to create jump plots if you wish.
    This is #TweakThursday 40.
