Data Needed

[Joeman187]

Hi Chandoo Expert

I was just wondering if you can send me some data so I can practice in creating dashboards. I'm just an individual who has no access to business related information.
I would appreciate it if you can help me out. Thank you. Joe from Michigan.

Hi Joe. Often a great way to find sample data to practice on is to pull someone elses dashboard off the web and use the data behind that dashboard.

One great place is Robert Mundigl's blog Clearly and Simply at http://www.clearlyandsimply.com/clearly_and_simply/
And of course, Chandoo's blog has lots of dashboards that you could download and extract the data from.

Usually the data is just on a tab called 'Data'

Also, simply googling "Sample Data Sets" will return countless matches. Here's a link I found by doing just that:
