Ques 1. Consider the Sample Superstore dataset. Generate visual representations of


the real sales figures for each sub-category in the year 2015 and then plot the
projected sales targets for each sub-category in 2016. These projected targets should
be set at 150% of the actual sales from 2015. Assess and interpret the sales patterns
for each sub-category in both years. (5 marks)

Ques 2. What are the key principles and strategies for creating dashboards that are
both impactful and captivating? Please provide a comprehensive explanation. (5
marks)

Ques 3. How do exploratory and explanatory analyses differ in Tableau, and which
one do you consider superior in your opinion, and for what reasons? (5 marks)

Question 1: Visualizing Sales Figures and Targets


Understanding the Task:

Dataset: Sample Superstore

Times 2015 and 2016

Data factual deals numbers for 2015, projected deals targets for 2016( 150 of 2015
deals)

Visualization produce visual representations for each sub-category and dissect deals
patterns.

Tableau Steps

Connect to Data Connect Tableau to the Sample Superstore dataset.

Filter Data Filter the data to include only the time 2015.

produce Calculated Field produce a advised field to calculate the projected deals for
2016( e.g., Projected Deals 2016 = Deals * 1.5).

figure Visualizations

2015 Deals produce a bar map with Sub-Category on the x-axis and Deals on the y-
axis.

2016 Projected Deals produce a bar map with Sub-Category on thex-axis and
Projected Deals 2016 on the y- axis.

Combine Visualizations Use a dashboard to combine the two maps for comparison.

dissect Deals Patterns


Identify the sub-categories with the loftiest and smallest deals in both times.

Look for trends, similar as adding or dwindling deals for specific sub-categories.

Compare the factual deals in 2015 to the projected deals in 2016 to assess the
achievability of the targets.

Interpretation

Sub-category Performance dissect which sub-categories performed well or


inadequately in both times.

Deals Trends Identify any upward or downcast trends in deals for different sub-
categories.

Target Achievement Assess whether the projected deals targets for 2016 are realistic
grounded on the 2015 deals data.

Question 2 Key Principles and Strategies for Creating Dashboards

Key Principles

Clarity and Simplicity Dashboards should be easy to understand and navigate. Avoid
clutter and inordinate information.

Applicability insure that the dashboard displays only the most applicable criteria and
data for the intended followership.

Interactivity Allow druggies to drill down into details, sludge data, and customize
the dashboard to their requirements.
Visual Appeal Use effective visualizations( maps, graphs, tables) to present data in
a visually charming and engaging way.

liar Structure the dashboard to tell a coherent story about the data, guiding the
stoner's attention to crucial perceptivity.

Strategies

Prioritize Key Metrics Identify the most important criteria to display on the
dashboard.

Use harmonious Formatting Maintain a harmonious style and formatting throughout


the dashboard to ameliorate readability.

influence Color Effectively Use color to punctuate important information and


separate between data points.

give Tooltips and Legends Include clear explanations for maps and data rudiments.

Test and reiterate Continuously upgrade and ameliorate the dashboard grounded on
stoner feedback.

Question 3 Exploratory vs. explicatory Analysis in Tableau

Exploratory Analysis

Purpose To discover patterns, trends, and connections in the data.

Approach Open- ended and flexible, frequently involving data visualization and
statistical ways.
Tableau ways Filtering, sorting, grouping, and creating colorful visualizations.

explicatory Analysis

Purpose To answer specific questions or test suppositions about the data.

Approach More structured and concentrated, frequently involving statistical


modeling and thesis testing.

Tableau ways Statistical computations, data mining, and prophetic modeling.

Superiority

The choice between exploratory and explicatory analysis depends on the specific
pretensions and environment of the analysis. Both approaches have their graces

Exploratory analysis is excellent for discovering unanticipated perceptivity and


generating new suppositions.

explicatory analysis is precious for attesting or refuting being propositions and


making data- driven opinions.

In numerous cases, a combination of both approaches is used to gain a


comprehensive understanding of the data.
