In this tip, I show you how to create an enclosed dot plot, which is essentially a dot plot that is enclosed by a line. It's very similar to a barbell chart except the line connecting the dots surrounds to dots.

Wow! What a fun #WatchMeViz that was! I iterated through 16 charts and then when the idea solidified, there was some great conversation and feedback on the chat to help me get to the end. I find survey responses quite difficult to visualize, so instead of getting frustrated, I thought about all of the ways I can compare data to see if anything would work.
Most importantly, thank you to all of your on the live chat. It makes a huge difference to me and I love getting your feedback and questions along the way. You make me better. You can find the final visualization below the video.

The Data School launched this week and on the consultants' second day, we brought them into an all day training class with the rest of the Information Lab team. One of the courses we taught was advanced visualisations. The reason we run these internal training classes is because we have a core belief in continuous learning.
As part of this exercise, we were building a dot plot and Laszlo Zsom asked how to connect two dots on the same row. I hadn't ever done it before, so I used a Gantt chart to connect them. Then Chris Love suggested using lines.
In this week's tip (two days late as it is), I demonstrate both of these methods. Click on the image below to enjoy the video.

Jeffrey Shaffer and I are two weeks into a year-long weekly hand-drawn data viz project we’re calling Dear Data Two. The project is entirely modeled after the Dear Data project Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec are doing. Jeffrey and I thought this would be a great way for us to remove ourselves from software and work on being more “artistic”.
The week 2 theme was “Transport”. Jeffrey tracked his step pattern around his office.
While I tracked the places I went all week and how I got to each place. What was different for me this week is that I started with Tableau and then went to hand drawn. Going forward, you can keep up with the project at www.dear-data-two.com, where you can read more about our thoughts and how we created each postcard.

I love connected scatter plots, especially when they are animated. Hans Rosling made the scatter plot more famous with his incredible video showing fertility rates vs. life expectancy, and this is the data set that I used in this tip. Also worth checking out is this great blog post by Alberto Cairo.
I previously wrote detailed instructions for creating connected scatter plots here.
You can download the workbook used to create this video here.

Today I had the incredible honor of helping Alberto Cairo create his very first Tableau visualization. Alberto chose to create a connected scatterplot. Shortly thereafter on Twitter, Lynn Cherny asked:
So this post is dedicated to her question. Here you go Lynn:
Step 1: Create the scatterplot
Step 2: Change the Mark type to Line
Step 3: Add a continuous date dimension to the Path shelf
Step 4: Add Markers to the lines via the Color shelf
Step 5: On each axis, uncheck the "Include Zero" option
Step 6: Add a dimension to the Color shelf to create additional lines
That's all there is to it! Super simple! Download the sample workbook here.
