How to make a unit chart in Tableau

The #WorkoutWednesday challenge from week 45 of 2023 tasks participants with creating a unit chart, a common tool in data visualization, with added filtering, coloration, and sorting features. The challenge encourages using a highlight and sort instead of a filter. The highlighted wines appear at the beginning of the chart, as shown in the accompanying solution video.

How to make an UpSet Plot in Tableau

UpSet plots are a data visualization method for showing set data with more than three intersecting sets.

The size of the sets and of the intersections are shown as bar charts. 

In this #WOW challenge, watch me as I build this upset plot in Tableau.
