Thanks for playing along in our Santalytics fun. Part 4 is here - let's see what you got. Creativity will be rewarded.
Now that we've declared our model as the new Santalytics paradigm, we need to break it down for Santa! He's not a data guy, after all. Can you help make a visualization that will map out Santa's route for him? You must use Alteryx for at least some of your process.
Goal of Part 4: Visualize Santa's trip around the globe
Started out with just simple model using the data sorted as it was (started out as a 5M row journey) then tried to do a zig-zag pattern then divided the globe into 10 degree bands (east to west) and sorted the points within that band by north-to-south then alternated the direction of travel - first north, then south etc to reduce wasted travel.
There's lots more optimization that could be done here, but I'm OK with this
