Challenge #318: My first dog

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found hereimage_dogchallenge.jpg

 

John has decided that it's time to adopt a dog. However, he has never owned a pet before. He is having trouble deciding on which furry friend would be best.

 

Your challenge is to help John make a choice.

You will use three datasets that contain all the information needed for the research.
The ranking for each criterion goes from 1 (low/not good) to 5 (high/excellent).

 

John wants a dog that would suit his lifestyle best, and here are the most important criteria.
A small dog that will adapt easily to living in an apartment and doesn't bark too much, as neighbors would complain if barking is excessive. Since John is a novice owner, the dog needs to be easy to train and friendly with strangers.

 

Use these five criteria to select three dogs. Then create a report showing your findings and help John make his decision.

Good challenge... although I would argue my three breeds are correct.

Fun challenge this week! My selected breeds look slightly different, but I'm comfortable with my answer.

John needs to move to a house with a yard.

I ended up with one different breed.

I'm a little rusty with the chart tool. Is there way to transpose the data and use the column names as the colors instead of adding individual layers for each?
