Challenge #412: Superbowl Time —Lowest-Ranked Football Positions

Here's the problem: Higher numbers are lower ranks. (I.E. 1 is best, 2, 3, and so on)

 

So the results shown are the 5 HIGHEST ranked positions, not the lowest. If I wanted to sort for the lowest ranked positions (I chose not to because I'm lazy) I would change the Sort tool in the middle to Descending vice Ascending. This changes the 5 positions to CB, DB, FS, NT and S. 

(Football nerd question: If we have a CB, FS, and S category, why is there a catch-all DB category???)

 

Also the Y-axis on the line chart should be reversed - best ranks (lowest numbers) at the top. 

 

It took me some searching to figure out that to do this, you have to reverse the max and min in the "Axes" menu in the Interactive chart tool

 

I color coded for my beloved Browns (shoutout @ggruccio!) on the table and some different formatting for the line graph to make it pop a little. 

 

I embedded my output pdf as well as a photo of my favorite player, Nick Chubb.

 

Nick was ranked #17 in 2022, BTW 🏈🟠🟤

 

Go Browns!

Nice weekly challenge. Thanks.
Wondering why not the "Highest" rank though. 😁

I always overspend time trying to make something visual in Alteyrx, but then again, I seem to have enough time on my hands to do so... Keep those challenges coming people!
