If your schedule is anything like mine, then you’re probably enjoying the summer months – using vacation time, nicer weather, summer holidays, and a generally more relaxed schedule. To help keep that vibe going, this week I’m challenging you to a very straightforward build. This is an extremely simplified version of something I recently built and leverages new features Tableau has brought us this year.
Your challenge is to build a 4 block set of KPIs (maybe Big Numbers is more appropriate) that upon clicking drills into bar charts showing Sales by the chosen dimension. Nothing overly fancy here – just a hands on opportunity to rethink how you can use navigation to create better analytical tools.
Requirements
- Dashboard size: 600 x 600, # of sheets is up to you
- Create a 4 block of KPI/BANs representing the distinct count of
- Customers
- Cities + State combo
- Product Name
- Order IDs
- Users should be able to click on a box and navigate to a bar chart that shows Sales by the chosen dimension
- Match formatting (and I’ve turned off all tooltips this week!)
- Colors come from Hue Circle
Dataset
This week uses the superstore dataset for Tableau 2019.1. You can get it here at data.world
