Please note the following is my work and has not been validated by anyone. That's the nature of things when people do things with public data. However, I take great pride in work I do in my name that I don't do it recklessly, so I had used extensive systematic checks using Excel formulae to make sure nothing got inadvertently changed. I also didn't waste a lot of time to do this if I didn't think it had something valuable to offer that little, or anything else, currently out there could do so well. But without being able to give you authoritative validation, I would recommend you use this tool to get what you want to know, then go verify the values before you were to do anything serious with it, if you need some authoritative validation. I have converted the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) into a report card format, with some graphs showing results for a different kind of visual comparison. I've embedded it below and after all that work, I'm go...

However, it was with data just two days old, and public data from Statistics Canada that's cumbersome to do analysis on, or even analytics to show what's in there and quickly see what it all means, so there's value in it. StatCan has also never done anything like this publicly with their data, which they should because those CANSIM tables they have are inaccessible in a practical sense to the vast majority of the public. I'm betting the public would love their work a lot more if they visualized all their work to make it interactive and easy to understand like this! Maybe they could hire me to do this full time with all the data they released! :) The 2015 Canadian Community Health (CCHS) Nutrition Survey  seemed to have been one of these horribly complex surveys that will ultimately yield very little useful data unless you really work har...
