What you will learn from my Tableau Instructional:
A descriptive analysis with aggregations based on segments within different variables such sports, countries, genders, and dates.
A display of changes of variable against timeline while comparing dimensions.
Key metrics annotated with a mark label -this helps bring attention to the main point when I want to specify a certain answer such as within the Home Advantage Chart.
The hovering feature is shared - this feature allows detailed information to display on command rather than having to be instilled in the visual. The ability to hover and discover saves room on the work sheet while not overcrowding information.
Table calculation feature of percentage differences allowing information to maximize and make easily comprehendible powerful data.

Details on information based on tableau story; How the Olympics inspired paths and correlate with places in the world.
My project shares information and explores questions on how the Olympics instigates events, correlates, and raises questions with the world. My data sheet was pulled from a set found in KAGGLE titled “Exploring The Olympics.”
Strange and unfortunate events have taken part in history such as the Chinese one-child policy and the Jewish Holocaust. The Chinese one-child policy was enforced between 1979 and 2015 with the Chinese government claiming it prevented 400 million births. The data in my tableau instructional addresses the following question - whether the policy affects the country’s success in competing in the Olympics? According to the Chinese culture, it was ideal to have a son over a daughter in order to carry out farm work in rural areas. Abortions and medication were forced upon women who were at risk of conceiving a second child. The gender gap became apparent with males surpassing the female ratio. Statistics show that the female ratio rules over males in participation during the Olympics while the policy was enforced between 1979 and 2016. A comparison with China is shown within a dashboard compared to the U.S. in the same time – the U.S. had no such policy and the male population out rules the females if not near equal.
A chart is shared with medals earned by men and women in the United States. The amount of medals both genders bring home are nearly at 50%. There are also a few events with women taking considerable favor showing a difference of 72% to 88% in 1992 and 1998 of medals brought earned. Meanwhile equality women still withstand equality issues in the U.S. such as pay and male dominated workplaces. Data is shared within sources from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Furthermore, another question posed is whether the host country has a home advantage of winning more medals. Dates are compared with 3 more separate events between Rio De Janeiro Brazil, Sochi Russia, Great Britain London, and Vancouver, Canada. The majority show no astounding differences of medals won while hosting the Olympics in their home country.
Astoundingly, when Berlin hosted the Olympics in the summer of 1936 coinciding with the Haulocast, Germany placed 1st in being awarded the most medals the entire Olympic games
“For two weeks in August 1936, Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship camouflaged its racist, militaristic character while hosting the Berlin Summer Olympics.” - https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-nazi-olympics-august-1936
The Berlin Olympics shed light on the tragedy which began the holocaust.
In 1948 and 1952, the Olympics did not allow Germany and Japan’s participation which is portrayed in the zero medals within the Berlin Olympics Figure.
Finally, the following is shared is the sports selection of the Olympics. The male and females have the same top 3 sports in common. In the total top sports of the Olympics the 4th placed sport is Shooting, which is the men’s top 4 sport in the Olympics.
My questions and exploration aim to give insight to the world in learning history, making connections in the forecasting of events, and building awareness to create a positive change.
