Well the Bears pulled out an ugly win in Denver this weekend. This week in my "challenge", I created a dashboard around the 2018 Chicago Bears and the receiving targets. I have actually been collecting data on all of the teams in the NFL for the past 5 years to develop an in-depth fantasy football … Continue reading Stacked Area Chart for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Bullet Chart for #RyanSleeperChallenge
The NFL season kicked off on Thursday (I am disappointed in my Bears start) and I wanted to assess some of my fantasy football draft decisions. This was perfect to use a bullet chart with. This allowed me to see what each QB's projection is for 2019 and what they did in 2018. Having a … Continue reading Bullet Chart for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Small Multiples for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Sooo....it's been a while, eh? https://media.giphy.com/media/3ohzdYJK1wAdPWVk88/source.gif When I started this website, I knew that I would be getting married in a few months. What I didn't know was that I was going to be changing jobs at the same time. I have been in that honeymoon phase for a little to long and I have … Continue reading Small Multiples for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Sparklines for #RyanSleeperChallenge
I'll be honest, I had never heard of sparklines as a visualization before. I was a little skeptical at first that any information could be gleamed from them. But as Ryan says in his book, they are meant to be a very high level and possibly point out areas were you drill down later. I … Continue reading Sparklines for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Tree Map for #RyanSleeperChallenge
It has been a while since I have been able to post about the next chart type in Ryan Sleeper's book Practical Tableau. I took a weekend to do some brewing and then took a trip to Louisville. But I am back this week thinking about the NFL. Free agency began this week and it … Continue reading Tree Map for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Brew Day 3/2/19 – Amber Ale
I am finally starting to brewing my way through Brewing Classic Styles! It took me a while to post about it but life gets in the way sometimes of what you want to do vs what you have to do. I am very lucky that a home brew shop just opened up within a 5 … Continue reading Brew Day 3/2/19 – Amber Ale
Scatter Plot for #RyanSleeperChallenge – Brewing Classic Styles
When I shared my website with my co-workers, they all asked when would I have brewing stuff on the site. While that will be where I will post most of my home brewing adventures, I wanted to make a chart that was beer related. One of my brewing goals this year is to try and … Continue reading Scatter Plot for #RyanSleeperChallenge – Brewing Classic Styles
Dual Axis Chart for #RyanSleeperChallenge
With football season being completely over (still not over the double doink Cody Parkey!), I was curious about how far the Bears offense had come over the past few years. We went from having Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery to Mitch Trubisky and Allen Robinson. It seemed like the Bears were much better at spreading … Continue reading Dual Axis Chart for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Heat Map for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Hope that you enjoyed my last visualization, Introducing The #RyanSleeperChallenge. The next visualization is a heat map. The heat map is similar to the highlight table, but the heat map will allow you to view two measures with 2 different mark types. In addition to being able to show color (like the highlight table), I … Continue reading Heat Map for #RyanSleeperChallenge
Introducing The #RyanSleeperChallenge
One of the main reasons that I started this site as I wanted a place where I could post my Tableau visualizations while I learned more about the software. In an effort to educate myself on the topic, I purchased Ryan Sleeper's "Practical Tableau" book from Amazon. I read through the beginning of the book … Continue reading Introducing The #RyanSleeperChallenge
