#MakeoverMonday 2022 Week 41 - UNDP Human Development Index

No comments

From UNDP:

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.

This week, I really liked the original visualization, so during #WatchMeViz,  I spend the time recreating the visual. I got most of the way there in an hour and finished it off in the evening. The questions on the live stream are super helpful...thank you!

A couple things I learned:

  1. Hover action interactivity is very, very slow in Tableau. I ended up changing it to a select action.
  2. Labeling is overly complicated.
  3. Tables in a tooltip can look really good. And they are very responsive.

The final visualization is below the video. Thanks for watching!

In this tip, I show you how to use chart icons along with parameter actions to allow users to select their preferred chart type. 

The icons I used are available via Flaticon here. Be sure to give credit to the creators of the icons unless you purchase them. 

Enjoy!
