datavis.blog looks at the relatively new feature of Set Actions. MakeoverMonday recently ran an article on “Ranking the States by Fiscal Condition” They created a bump chart showing the total net assets per person for each state based on each state’s population. The curvy bump chart was created using Kevin Flerlage’s excellent Excel template.
This post will focus on the selection panel to the left of the bump chart that allows you to select a state (or states) and have that state highlighted in the bump chart, which was created with a couple of formulas and a set action.
