In the spirit (and the dataset) of your one-number story, I’d like you to make a simple data visualization. Ideally, it would serve to illustrate the story you wrote last week, but if you can’t find anything in your story that seems applicable, feel free to branch out.

Using Tableau, create a visualization of one variable (or at most, two variables). This could be a bar chart, histogram, map, or other simple visualization. You get to choose how to map your variable to a visual attribute– color, scale, size, etc.

Your visualization should be a finished piece. This means it needs a title (analogous to a headline), axis labels, annotation (if relevant) and probably some descriptive text, either as a caption or a short related “story.” This should be no more than 250 words at the maximum. Your visualization should speak for itself.

Your visualization does not need to represent all the cases/observations in the dataset if that is not relevant to your story. It’s okay to show the top (or bottom) ten items.

There are two ways to submit your work:

• Upload your visualization to moodle. To do this, use the Worksheet menu -> Export -> Image to get the image. If you have text associated with your visualization, either upload that as a separate document (i.e. one image file, one text file) or paste the image into a Word document that also includes the text.

• Publish your visualization to Tableau Public. To do this, go to the Server menu -> Tableau Public -> Save to Tableau Public (you may need to create a data extract first, by using the Data menu and selecting the name of your data -> Extract). Tableau Public allows you to add a description to your page, so you can put your short piece in that field. Then, just send me the link to your page on Slack.
