Lab 7 Visualization

This visualization shows the outliers of both male and female baby names from 1900-2000. The data was originally sourced from the Social Security Name Database.

To create the above visualization, I imported the Social Security csv file into Tableau and began creating calculated fields for counts, percentages, fixed sum occurrences, and outliers for both male and female names. For some reason I had trouble viewing these calculated fields in Tableau after creation, so I worked mostly blindly. I then put the female and male outlier values into the “columns” part of Tableau along with year. To make sure only “True” values were showing up for both, I filtered the female and male outliers to only show “True” values in the visualization. I then put “Names” into the rows field for the final visualization.
