After that, use Airbnb data for any city at http://insideairbnb.com/get-the-data.html for creating visualizations in Tableau.
-To extract the detailed data on a Windows-based computer, you may need to download and install a free software 7-zip (available at https://www.7-zip.org/download.html). After you download the detailed data (.csv.gz file), right click on the downloaded .csv.gz file, go to 7-zip, then “Open Archive” to extract .csv file.
-Study the data by checking the “Data Dictionary” link at the top of the Airbnb data website.
Connect your Airbnb data to Tableau Desktop and create visualizations by using 4 different chart types along with appropriate filtering and sorting in Tableau. In a Word document, for each visualization, explain 1) what is the purpose of using the chart type as well as filtering/sorting, and 2) what are the key findings from each visualization. Submit your Tableau workbook (.tbwx) and your Word document (.docx) in a .zip file.
