Dashboard Week - September 2022
Dashboard Week can be described as five consecutive days of applying to The Data School. Each day Data Schoolers are given a dataset with explicit directions, a few hours to prepare the data (as needed), sketch the dashboard design, create vizzies and dashboard, and present. Sometimes additional lectures are provided. Crying and gnashing of the teeth are optional.
DSNY1’s Day 3 Challenge was the Day1 Global assignment- Retrieve UK crime data using an API. Develop an analytic App in Alteryx to allow a user to select a range of dates, crime category, and postal code. Draw potential dashboard design. Create a dashboard in Power BI or Tableau to share the crime metrics.
My goal for the day was not to much too much time on a particular task and create a dashboard in Power BI
Step 1.
Navigating the website and locating the URL was fairly easy.
Step 2
Bring in the URL into Alteryx
Step 3
Use the tools
Step 4
Lay out all the tools I think I need to build the app, struggle, break the workflow, spend too much time.
Step 5
Listen to Andy - Sometimes
Go to lunch
Step 6
Hand draw my dashboard design
Step 7

Step 8

Step 9
Revisit my abandoned app and continue building when I have more sleep and time.
