This is my latest Tableau "viz" as I teach myself the software. It's 100 years of weather in eight places in Nova Scotia: Halifax Liverpool Yarmouth Greenwood Halifax Airport Amherst Antigonish Sydney Getting the data for this nearly killed me as it was generally pretty messy and not  really aggregated! I have over 1600 files for 8 places at 100 years each! It was messy except for Sydney and Yarmouth. That was why I had them as separate "vizzes" for Sydney and Yarmouth , each with a longer time range. In doing so, I got to test out the data substitution nature of Tableau for when I need to swap data to make similar vizzes with slightly different data sets, or on a common theme but not desired to be together. The reason for that could very well be to keep things manageable as with the individual place weather vizzes, you never have to worry about the area you're looking at or selecting. You can just focus on the weather. I did Halifax...

The Halifax weather data set was pretty messy, missing lots of little bits of data. However, I still put together a set longer than 100 years that I'll do for other locations because relatively many people in Nova Scotia live here that I didn't want to leave them all out.
