Dashboard Week Day 4 - American Candy Survey

by Andy Kriebel

Sadly, as an American living in the UK, I hear quite often about how terrible American candy is for you...but it's so, so good! They won't listen.

The project for day 4 isn't very complicated, but there are two twists.

  1. For data preparation, they can only using Tableau Prep and they must build their workflows in the browser.
  2. Once they've prepared the data, they need to build a dashboard using only web edit.

Basically, the team is working in the cloud today.

For day 4, the teams will visualize survey data about American candy. The four years of data comes from The Science Quarterly Review. I would highly recommend they read the article; it includes useful information about problems with the data.

Requirements:

  1. Download the data for all four years.
  2. Data prep must be done using Tableau Prep in the browser.
  3. They are more than welcome to supplement it with additional data.
  4. They must build their dashboard via web authoring.

Good luck and don’t eat too much candy. It will rot your teeth.
