Day 4 of Dashboard week consisted of creating a dashboard using a mock dataset about Emergency Calls to the Fire Department. As well as being provided with data, we were also given questions we should answer.

Things I enjoyed:

• There was a focus to the task. The questions helped guide me in analysing my data, meaning I was looking for answers and insights, as opposed to being overwhelmed with the amount of data.
• The topic itself: The fake data on emergency incidents was quite interesting to analyse. It was a first for me, which made it interesting when thinking about rates.
• Clean Data: The data set was really easy to work with. The fields were clearly named.

Challenges I faced:

• Because the data was so easy to work with, I felt pressure with making my dashboard look nice, and needing to deliver lots of insights.
• I struggled with creating some of the metrics, as I relied heavily on LODs. I needed to check my numbers were right lots.

Overall I enjoyed today's challenge, and learnt a lot.
