2023/Week 19 - Your Chart Choice

back2vizbasics·January 21, 2025

Description

For Week 19, we would like you to choose your own chart.

Summary


This week is Mid-Autumn festival in China and many other Asian countries. This harvest festival is the second largest celebration of the year, behind only Lunar New Year. Families gather to celebrate the harvest and appreciate the moon. A primary feature of these gatherings: eating mooncakes!

Our data this week comes from cbndata.com and looks at the reasons why people purchase mooncakes. (Thanks to Kevin Wee for the translation assistance!) You’ll notice that more than one reason was allowed as a survey answer, so the numbers do not all add to 100%.

Our data set contains the following fields:

Data 1:

  • Reason: Why was the mooncake purchased?
  • Rank: numeric value
  • Percentage: percent of respondents who selected the reason

Data 2:

  • Reason: Why was the mooncake purchased?
  • Reason_detail: Who was the gift given to?
  • Percentage: percent of respondents who selected the reason

Feel free to use only one data set or create a simple join to bring both data sest together. There is no specific chart choice or topic for this week so get creative! For those newer to Tableau, try to consider using color effectively and purposefully. Play with formatting, detail, and colors to see how it affects your design. Make sure your chart has an appropriate description, title, or labels. Keep things simple and try not to over-complicate them. For those more experienced users, get creative. However, don't compromise quality if trying something new.

Take your time over the next week to create your chart. Share your visualization on Tableau Public, “X” (Twitter), and/or LinkedIn. Use the hashtags #B2VB and tag us (@ReadySetData and @ItsElisaDavis on Twitter) - yes, even if you’re not sure you “officially” did the prompt. If you’re open to feedback, say so when you post. Finally, fill out the submission form on the Back 2 Viz Basic's website.
