Last week, I published a blog post about the power of compound interest and embedded related a Tableau Public dashboard (also below).

Here’s a direct link to the dashboard.

It took some trial and error to get the Tableau Workbook to function the way, so I wanted to document the process and some things I learned along the way. This began as a written blog post, but I quickly switched to a video format because the amount of information to share would have been too cumbersome to write out. Enjoy the video below and let me know if you have other thoughts on how to solve the problems I encountered!
