This is a fun one. I like it when the #WorkoutWednesday add a little whimsy into their challenges and that’s just what Lorna did with her’s this week. Since her challenge came during the week of Valentines Day, she resurrected an old #MakeoverMonday dataset about valentines day spending and challenged us to make a radar chart. But then she added in some extra complexity with requirements for adding buttons (something I’ve not used yet).

Okay, I’m not going to try and take credit for things I didn’t create without help. Gotta give credit where it’s due. I followed this blog post from former Data Schooler, Ellen Blackburn.
