Dashboard Week Day 3 - Street Fighter

Day 3 was all about Street Fighter, but more specifically PowerBI and Alteryx Web Scraping.

The day started with us not receiving data but instead some webpages and a good luck. The task was just to create any dashboard about Street Fighter, and my mind immediately started racing about possibilities. After a lot of decision and data discovery I settled on designing a dashboard that would be usable by someone who already plays Street Fighter V and how their character ranks compared to others.

When Web Scraping I faced a hurdle that I had not come over previously this was alteryx was not able to resolve the host name. With this error I spoke to some of the coaches as to why this might be happening and the general consensus was that alteryx was timing out due to the internet not being very fast today. This was fine at the end and I ended up connecting my laptop to my phones hot spot to connect to the data and this worked.

Other than that minor hurdle I ended up not having many, and by the end of the day I produced a dashboard that was very inline with my initial plan.

Bring on Day 4!
