Woo! Finally had a spare moment to jump into Makeover Monday and back on the blog. Was a fun dataset to get into. I just HAD to eat a bag of popcorn when I was adding my finishing touches, you know, for inspiration :-) Details Original Article: New York Times Makeover Monday Dataset: Data.World My Dashboard A few notes I liked the original heatmap for the individual ranks, but felt that a bar chart could be more useful in getting the total comparisons. I wanted to allow the user to sort by their top metric using the parameter, and created a calculated field to ensure the top overall ranked areas remained at the top of the list when there were ties (which there were many). I'm sure there are several ways to do this, but I chose to create a special field which added the total score. I don't love that the metric labels are vertically positioned, I know its more difficult to read. But I really wanted the heatmap to be very thin, so I went with it. *meh*...
