I saw this video on Kepler & React and was excited about the Kepler app. I want to try it with NZ covid data that I’m getting from some API endpoints. But its not structured in a GeoJson format. This is a tool that Uber have developed and shared, which is nice of them. I’m

Its been slower writing the last 100 posts compared to the previous 200. But I’ve got there, with this being the 300th post. You can view the actual table here.

This is in fact an article How to import JSON data into Google Sheets to create a live COVID-19 chart that I came across on my RSS feed from Datawrapper. I want to follow this as it sort of comes full circle. I’d started my covid data exploration with Google Sheets and importXML() and now,

I m very excited as I’ve found out about JS Template literals, I think I’ve used some in code but was not aware of it. The video below is a very good tutorial: There is also a link to Codepen of 1/ the basics, so you can follow along, and the complete solution HERE. The

I suppose I could use PowerBI but I’ll srick with Excel for the moment. PowerBI has the dashboard but I did find it slow, its speed may have improved but that is for testing another day. I’m using the John Hopkins Github repository of Data which is updated daily and what they use for their

At the end of the fist part I’d got some data to play with from a couple of sources, cleaned it up, got some data to make paths to create a map and coloured map in by region based on covid cases. This was done using Excel, Notepad++ and displayed in browser. I was just
