Lab 1: Column Chart Example from Chapter 2 (Figure 2-12)
This lab is based on Chapter 2 of the book Communicating Data with Tableau by Ben Jones. The goal of this chapter is to understand the Tableau interface and learn how data can be explored and communicated using basic visualizations. The New York Boroughs dataset was used to create a column chart that compares population across different boroughs. This chart makes it easy to see which boroughs have higher or lower population values. The exercise demonstrates how drag-and-drop tools in Tableau can be used to quickly create clear and effective charts for communicating data patterns.
Lab 1: Population Density Map of New York Boroughs (Figure 2-13)
This map follows the example shown in Chapter 2, Figure 2-13 of the book Communicating Data with Tableau by Ben Jones. The map displays population density across the New York boroughs, allowing spatial differences to be seen more clearly than in a chart. Color shading is used to represent areas with higher and lower population density, making it easier to identify patterns across locations. This exercise demonstrates how Tableau can be used to communicate spatial data effectively through thematic mapping.
