A big thanks and thumbs up to our Challengers who contributed a submission for our two-part challenge on analyzing social data. It was wonderful to see how different Challengers approached the data analysis itself and your creativity in displaying your insights!
Some of you may know that my pre-Alteryx days included mapping and analyzing the spread of invasive aquatic species in the state of Texas. Giant salvinia, hydrilla...this just sounds like the stuff of nightmares. And, for many aquatic resource specialists, it is! So, when I found a file from the Colorado Department of Transportation's website on noxious weeds in the state, well, you can imagine my excitement 🙂
For this week's Challenge, we'll build an app that would help a potential resource manager understand the coverage of noxious weeds along road segments in Colorado. Design an app to produce two different outputs based on a users selection to "search by road segment" or "search by weed". Depending on the selection, the app should produce a chart of the different weeds and their coverage levels (if selecting to search by road segment) or a table of the road segments and coverage of a weed (if choosing to search by weed).
Happy Challenging! Feel free to up the ante from my suggested outputs to maps, additional output information, or more aesthetically pleasing reports!
