The Importance of Feedback and Iteration

I had an awesome experience Sunday night in to Monday morning. When I saw the data for Makeover Monday I immediately saw it as a chance to learn something new. I’m constantly in awe of Rody, Adam and Ken for the things they do with curves inside Tableau, and for this set of data I wanted to do an arc chart to show the “distance” of the company’s profit per second.

So I started reading… and experimenting… and reading… and giving up… then coming back… the reading some more. It was a long, frustrating Sunday night. I eventually made a break through just after midnight, and I was fried. So I published it to Tableau Public and threw it up on Twitter because I needed some feedback.

My community does not disappoint.
