Gauthier Bonnot

After having completed his undergraduate degree in business, Gauthier helped developing his family retail business in Paris. A desire for change led him to pursue a master’s degree in advertising in London.

Through one of his course modules, which implied the use of big data, he analysed triathletes communities on Twitter to uncover precious consumer insights. This newly found skill motivated him to go further in learning how to make sense of data. After having completed a data analysis degree online and given Tableau and Alteryx a try, he naturally ended up applying to the Data School.

In his spare time, Gauthier loves setting himself new challenges by training for triathlons. He also enjoys cooking and photography.

Plot two measures on your hexmap
I have always been frustrated by how difficult it is to show two measures on maps. Most often it results in overplotting or marks that are so tiny you can’t really see them well

Dashboard Week Day 4
Day 4 is now behind us. We were tasked to work with another API, although this time a little less crazy than Rick and Morty’s, the Energy Information Administration, that gathers all the data about energy in the US

Dashboard Week Day 3 Over
Day 3 is over! This time we were tasked by Andy to download data from Rick and Morty API and build up a viz from there. I had to specifically work with the different locations to be found in the show. It took me a good part of the day working in Alteryx to get the data nice and ready

How to show/hide the items outside your set?
Today at the Data School we spent the day training on #WorkoutWednesday challenges to sharpen our Tableau skills. I worked on one crafted by Emma Whyte [http://www.womanindata.co.uk/2017/11/topncustomers.html] last year

Prevent Tableau from Recalculating your Table Calcs after Filtering
Recently I was having a chat with Anna Noble [https://twitter.com/ajmnoble] while she was trying to solve a Tableau issue I had already encountered in the past without finding the solution. It implied keeping a table calculation (i.e. a rank) from recalculating after it had been filtered

How to 'really' format your filters
While working on a client project, I grew quite frustrated with the impossibility to apply any formatting to the body text in the filter window. You select a specific category or country but it doesn’t show anywhere else on screen that in that tiny box

First week started, first impressions
Here I am sitting among my co-data schoolers writing the first article of what will likely be a long series. Since I had been told I was accepted in DS8 a month ago, I was really looking forward to meet the people who I was going to spend four months of my life with
