The process of this assignment is very similar to the Get Started with Tableau tutorial, EXCEPT the tutorial is contained entirely within a Tableau Packaged Workbook file already (attached here): MusicSales.twbx

This is also a tutorial, with data on Music Sales.  The rest of the process is similar to the previous assignment.

The additional documents are the attached Action/Reasoning chart.  This chart will help you track your 'analytics pathway' as you work through the analysis.  Additional instructions and guidelines are included in the document. 

Finally, you should submit a 1-2 page (minimum, double-spaced) narrative of the data and your analysis. 

You refer back to the readings and presentations in Week 6 and consider such questions such as Who is the audience? (or who might be the audience?) and What is the Message?    First concentrate on the data and the results (sales data).

Then, how does the final visualization fare against some of the criteria we've discussed, such as Shaffer's 4 C's of data visualization?

It's ok to be critical if critique is warranted.  This is, after all, a tutorial and not solely YOUR analysis.

In the end you should submit the following:

1. Tableau file with visualizations (Export as Tableau Packaged Workbook format, *.twbx)
2. Entire workbook printed as PDF
3. Action/Reasoning Chart
4. Narrative of data and analysis

You do NOT need to upload your results to Tableau Public as described in the tutorial.
