For this week's Makeover Monday, I created a dashboard to better explore the data set.  Here's a video highlighting how to take advantage of all the filters in the dashboard.

    Hi, I've just seen your updated version (which looks great by the way) and I saw you added a button to toggle between metrics. How did you do this please?

      Hello, thanks for your interest! I used the optional metrics feature to enable the toggle. Here's the Data Studio Help Centre Article on it - https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/9484925?hl=en

      Thankyou so much. I must have somehow missed this feature. Very useful.
      By the way the sunshine hours one is fantastic. Can't wait for you to publish this. Creating these is beyond me so rely on clever people like you to make them.
      Thanks again and keep up the great work your doing

Product Ideas: Getting more specific with locations

-
As a user, there are often times when you come up with product improvements based on the pain points you experience. I'll share two of my recent ideas centered around the theme of location.  Product : LinkedIn, Indeed, and other job search sites What : Add detailed job location (neighborhood or exact location) to job postings rather than simply a city/area. For remote jobs, allow for more detailed searches - is this remote worldwide or only remote within a certain country? Why : From a personal perspective, I live in a large city and the job location within the city matters a lot to me. A job might be listed in the same city that I live in, but it could take over an hour to commute to the location.  In general, for job seekers, this feature would allow them to better understand what the commute could look like. Employers would also benefit from a more relevant talent pool. Ie. job seekers can more readily self-select and employers will end up with applicants who are aware of t...

Tip: Create a radar chart in DS using built-in area charts

For this week's Makeover Monday , I made a 4 sided radar chart in Data Studio (DS) with the built in area chart. Note: This method works well for 4 sided radar charts but may not work with more variables due to limitations within Data Studio 1. Data Preparation Date for X values An area chart in DS requires a date for the X axis and a metric for the Y axis. Since I wanted to put Spring/Fall on the Y Axis and Winter/Summer on the X axis, I had to convert the Spring/Fall percentages to dates. I did this by choosing Jan 1 2019 (an arbitrary date) to be "0" and added/subtracted by the percentage point to get the final date values. Use a top and bottom area chart My area chart is actually composed of two area charts - one for the top and bottom. The reason for this is because DS doesn't handle negative Y values well and the background colour gets affected. You'll get something like Figure 1 if you use a negative Y value and it would be a hassle to fix the ba...
