We're in the middle of the summer, so let's build a dashboard that allows a user to decide on a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor that is safe to eat if they have allergies.
Ben & Jerry's website is in HTML, so we should be able to gather a lot of information by webscraping via Alteryx.
First, we'll find links to each flavor, and then find the relevant allergen and ingredient info. I thought the short and long descriptions of the flavors would be fun too!
That gives us a data set with a row for each flavor. Allergens and ingredients are concatenated, so the way I structure this data will help determine the strategy for building in Tableau. At first, I thought I would need to create a row for each flavor and allergen, but that would be over complicating things. Instead, I will create a parameter for each allergen, and use those parameters to filter a list of flavors that satisfy those requirements!
