Create a Custom Calendar Widget

No comments
Inspired by Nicholas Lea-Trengrouse's custom calendar visual in PBI, I've rebuilt it in Tableau.

Thanks Nicholas for providing me with the data set and setting an example of how simple visualization can communicate data effectively.

If you're not already following Nicholas, do so. You're guaranteed to find inspirational designs for your dashboards.

No extensions required. I think you'll love the trick I did with the title so that you can't click on it.

Downloading the workbook so that you can reverse engineer it is one of the best ways to learn.
