Feel free to interact with the dashboard here on my Tableau Public profile. There is also the option to listen to some of the songs featured on this dashboard with the embedded playlist :)
- Streaming data from June 2016 to March 2024, needed to be requested from my account settings (took about a month to receive data files)
- I joined the files for different years in Tableau and cleaned up data (nulls, odd variable names, etc.).
- I saved the photos of my top 10 artists by downloading .png file from the web
- next, photos are cropped by saving them into a circle shape in MS Word.
- these photos were then saved into the icons folder for Tableau.
- each top 10 artist photo and top 5 album cover reveals more data when hovered over.
- Similarly, I downloaded the KPI symbols from icons8.com and saved them to KPI folder.
- I embedded a playlist of the top 100 songs by streams that I created on my spotify account.
- Spotify allows you to share it as a url; you just need to change song order if you want a different background color.
- I concatenated the song and artist names to create a new song variable, improving appearance and eliminating duplicates using a calculated field with a pipe symbol between them.
- I then chose the right color palette for the dashboard.
- Finally, I created a version of the dashboard that is optimized for mobile view.
