Paying the President

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 0910

This week’s data is about how much the campaign groups and governmants have paid to President Trump’s property. Here is the explanation and visualization of the dataset. The original viz was made by d3.js, but I like it so much that I decided to make a similar one in Tableau.

My Visualization

As mentioned above, my goal this week is to replicate the original visualization as much as I can in Tableau. The time I spent was around 50 minutes.
