Introduction

This week, things get a little more political. No Chin & Beard Suds Co don't have a political opinion in the US Elections but we do want to monitor what is going on. So let's look at how the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination is developing.

2020: Week 9 - Democratic Presidential Nomination

Using data from RealClearPolitics.com, we are also making it easier for our Tableau Desktop users to follow the results by forming the dataset into a Bump Chart. Normally this would involve Table Calculations in Tableau Desktop but we want to prepare the Dataset so it makes it a lot easier for anyone to build this chart type and complete the ranking for them (this can be done in Prep 2020.1 or a longer work around in previous Prep versions - I built it pre-2020).

Introduction

This week's challenge came from a YouTube video that Jenny stumbled across: Who Is Pokemon’s LEAST Favorite Pokémon?

The logical steps applied in the video felt like they were screaming out for a Preppin' Data challenge to verify the results! But be warned, the answer to this challenge will differ from the conclusion of the video, due to differing datasets.

Introduction

This week Prep Air are looking into their Net Promoter Score (NPS) and how this compares with a variety of other new airlines. NPS usually takes the form of asking customers "How likely ae you to recommend this company on a scale of 0-10?" You then subtract the detractors of your company from the promoters and end up with a score between -100 and +100. The higher the NPS, the better!
