Have you ever felt stuck trying to prepare your data? Here is some motivation to improve your data prep skills by treating it like a game! I have been using Tableau Prep using the challenges on https://www.preppindata.com/, remember each time you complete a challenge (or a level as I like to call it) to put it onto the tracker: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdZzudRXwUvjhWwNawwz1kGXcYeQ9gBnAhCOvlA7qEDknGu4A/viewform So, as each week goes by in the month it feels like a new, harder level, to complete! Also, seeing what rank I am in compared to my cohort fuels the competitive side in me to get better! (see below at the challenge tracker viz by Carl Allchin).

Try out 2023 Week 23, input the dataset into Tableau Prep and have a go! Remember, there is a lot of guidance with Jenny's video and the solutions page if you are feeling stuck.
Here are my notes of the plan (in red) and the actual workflow (in blue), by doing this format I have a set of notes to save my progress.
Maybe I can go full gamer, and make streams of my walkthroughs or do speed-runs. Just an idea for the future heh.
See you next week,
