In this longer format video, I walk through how to create a dashboard for #Makeover Monday from scratch. It's one example of how to create a dashboard in Tableau and could be used as a walkthrough for beginners or for more advanced users.

I cover:

Familiarizing myself with the data.
Building a few test visualizations.
Creating some calculations about how we're going to treat our data.
Deciding what I like/don't like.
Determining a purpose for the dashboard
Arranging elements on the dashboard.
Adding comments and commentary to the dashboard.
How to lay out things on the dashboard based on how people read.

The idea is to capture all the raw thoughts that go through my mind while I'm working with data and trying to create a dashboard.
