Today in @nextleveltableau.bsky.social's training session, we built a trellis chart in #Tableau using map layers; a quirky work-around to a tricky chart. 🤯 There's also a dynamic heatmap to show each borough's average daily calls.

This week’s #WOW2024 was an interesting one — building a candle line chart! While fairly simple to build, this challenged me to think about how we usually show YoY change with line charts. By de-emphasizing last year’s trend, the audience focuses more on the deltas YoY. Link: tinyurl.com/5y6kt2f8
