Dashboard Week Day 5 - World Happiness

It is now DS39's training finale, of which we were tasked with creating a dashboard on World Happiness. We only had the morning, but since the data was clean there was no data prep required. The data structure was fairly straightforward since the main dimensions were essentially the country, their region and year followed by different measures.

I decided to focus my scope on the top 3 and see how they performed with some specific measures followed by a bump chart with how they rank over time. The link to my dashboard is here.

What I should've done better is put in info buttons for each measure to show what they mean. Furthermore, rather than a constant average line I should've constructed an average global trend line to see how the top 3 compare to the average per year.

Training's been a fun ride and I feel bittersweet about it ending, but now I'm looking forward to branching out to placements, personal projects, and general upskilling. Time to see where the rest of the DS takes me :)
