Conditional formatting & Datawrapper

Here’s the weather for the last week in my area, using conditional formatting. As you can see, it was hottest Thursday afternoon and coldest on Sunday.

Moving on to Datawrapper. For my first chart, the metric I chose was access to advanced education. I looked at the three countries my parents are from, just for kicks.

This next chart took me some time, simply just to sort through the data and find three countries that met the requirements. The trends are subtle, but they are present.

For the last chart, I tried a scatter plot! I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out but wish I was able to include population and make the dots different sizes. Unfortunately, the Social Progress data didn’t include total populations and I was worried combining datasets would get messed up somewhere along the way with so many countries.
