Let’s dive into this week's quest!

 

  1. Download the provided JSON file containing your starting data and workflow files.

  2. Upload Start Cloud Quest 38.json file to your Analytics Cloud library.
  3. All necessary datasets are contained within Text Input tools in the workflow.

Scenario:

Did you know that professional golf tournaments typically begin on Thursday and run through Sunday? All players compete during the first two days, but only those with the best scores advance to the weekend rounds. This process is called “making the cut.” Players who miss the cut earn nothing, while those who finish the tournament receive a payout based on their final ranking.

 

For this week’s Cloud Quest, use the provided dataset containing tournament results from the past five years to identify:

 

1. The five players with the highest average earnings per event.

2. The five players who have earned the most money without winning a single event.

 

Hint: Remove non-data rows to start.
