MM_2019_W02: Heatmap and Viz inside Tooltip (more)|


Makeover Monday; week 2 was focused on Freedom of the press;

The viz this week is an  heat-map showing progression of data over 24 years by country and years using Viz inside of tooltip to show 2 different worksheets (see below)

Viz; 
 
Viz inside of Tooltip; essentially did 2 charts within the tooltip.
1st Chart Tooltip ; looked at the %age breakdown of the status for the time period using a table calculation which was % of total.

2nd Chart tooltip is a dual axis chart using a bar and a circle to indicate scores with the Sum (total Score) inside of the circle. The circles do not show (see end result below) because it is essentially just the sum (total score) as text and the status as color. 
So you get a comprehensive view just by clicking on the heat map box.
This is the syntax in the tooltip text pill;
Historic Press Freedom Split & Score 1994-2017 for <Country>
<Sheet name="Tooltip %'s" maxwidth="500" maxheight="350" filter="<Country>">
<Sheet name="Tooltip Bar Chart" maxwidth="600" maxheight="350" filter="<Country>">

Result;
 
 Stuggles;
Struggle 1/Lesson Learned: Viz inside of tooltip; view must be set to "Entire View"; otherwise you will get an error in your tooltip saying view is too large to show 

 
 


Struggle 2/Lesson Learned: cell size a little and found this to be able to play without having to drag
Drop with mouse; Format | Cell Size

How I secured my Tableau Specialist Certification

Image
I have been asked for input and resources in reference to securing my Tableau Specialist Certification, so I thought it would be best to write about it in a blog. I would register for this test NOW as the SPECIALIST cert if 50% off until the 1 st of the year (end of 2018).   You can register now and take it months later if you want.  Essentially, tools I used can be broken into these pieces; The hard part right now is the specialist cert is so new there are not a ton of resources for just the specialist but more of the Desktop Qualified Associate.   So hopefully this will help.    .        Classes    .        Resources           Prep for the certification I.Classes : I did not take any of the paid Tableau courses but did take several courses through Linkedin and Udemy. I like Udemy more just because I can go back any anytime an...

New Years; New ‘Goals:keeping up with the 'side gig'

Image
I am trying to get back into Tableau and keep my skills fresh while doing some other things with my career and job. So, getting back into Tableau had been fun, albeit a little time consuming. My goal is to publish every other week and absorb the MM webinars weekly.   This will give me a little breathing room for work while still keeping in the field.   I have been keeping up with the weeks but this is my first lessons learned post.  I hope to go back to the previous weeks and talk through lessons learned as time permits.  Week1 was a big struggle for me but a very fun one so stay tuned! MM_W5 , I really wanted to learn how to do a negative bar chart. This is in essence displaying a set of data in bar but show it against a colored background to help the reader understand the data visually against 100%.   I believe this has a stronger impact than just a standard bar chart.   Lessons Learned: Dual Axis; To do this type of chart you n...

Hex Maps | Adding Color Palette | Highlight Bars in Chart  This week we'll talk about these topics. How to do I go about approaching the topic and my direction. Lessons learned Resources How do I approach the Topic; Learn from others\refresher; I have to be honest, because I am so new to Tableau and want to learn as much as possible as I am working on my weekly viz's, I often look at others and see if something resonates with me.   Eva and Andy have been talking about keeping things simple lots lately so I try to focus on that when I look at other's viz's.   I also either try to pick at least 1 new learning lesson (easy to do at this stage) or something I haven't focused on for a while for a refresher. Sketch out what I am thinking ; yep, I try an jot down what I am thinking on paper. Many times it takes different directions but I think it's important to at least start wit...
