Unzip the course files
You must download and unzip the Dashboard in a Day (DIAD) class content.
Download the DIAD starter files.
Create a folder called DIAD on the C: drive of your local computer.
Copy all contents from the student files to the DIAD folder you created (C:\DIAD).
If you're unfamiliar with how to unzip files, you right-click on the Attendee.zip file and select Extract All.
Note
Users should use their own files for each lab. The solutions provided for each lab are a final product to reference. The solutions are not meant to be the starting point for each lab.
Your C:\DIAD\ directory should now have the folders Data and Reports in its root.
The dataset you'll use for the Dashboard in a Day class is a sales and market share analysis. This type of analysis is common for a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Unlike the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a CMO is focused not only on the company's performance internally (how well our products sell) but also externally (how well we do against competing products).
The company VanArsdel, Ltd. manufactures expensive retail products that can be used for fun and work. This company sells their products directly to consumers nationwide and in several other countries.
Note
There is a problem with the Nigeria International Sales data; this is by design so that users can learn how to shape data.
By the end of the class, you'll build a report, which will look like the screenshot below.
