Dashboard Week day 3

Making sure progress is made.

  1. Started of with making a more detailed plan
  2. Research! Getting stuck into the data! I made sure I conducted thorough research on the museum data. Focusing on who, what, where, why and how?
Research 1
Research 2

Questions: Then wrote down a list of questions I wanted to use the data to answer and focus analysis on.

Cleaning the data: Went into Alteryx to clean the data, remove unwanted columns renamed fields and change field types

Alteryx workflow 

Time to build charts/dashboards:

Dashboard 1
Drill down chart to look into the subject type and domus area

The good and the bad:

So here's what went well  managed to create a good plan, thoroughly researched the topic and came up with interesting questions to answer and provide analysis. Preparing the data went well.

The bad:  

Once I got into tableau I got a bit stuck on what type of graphs to use to show my analysis as I was so keen to show different types of analysis.
