Ice and Fire

This post was originally published on The Data School blog between 2018 and July 2025, before our program was renamed to MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. References throughout this article to “The Data School” or “DS” all refer to what is now MIP’s Analytics Career Accelerator. The program, its people, and its commitment to launching outstanding analytics careers remain the same – just under a new name.

The dashboard week started today for DSAU11! We were given the Ice and Fire dataset. Because relationships between books and characters, for instance, can be determined  I decided to explore how to develop networks graphs in Tableau. I found a very well described video on how to create graphs in Tableau by Jim Knippenberg.

The data preprocessing I completed in Alteryx where I developed the python script in the Python Tool also. I transferred data to Tableau using .hyper files and build graphs just according to Jim’s video. I build two interactive dashboards using Navigation buttons and actions. The viz you can find following this link.
