With the MtEverestDeaths.xlsx data set use Tableau Desktop to produce three different views of Deaths that have occurred in expeditions attempting to climb Mt Everest. Note you will find it useful to do some research on the Deaths that have occurred in expeditions attempting to climb Mt Everest in order to comment on each of three views of Deaths on Mt Everest that you will need to create for Task 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
Task 3.1) Create a view of the Deaths on Mt Everest in a Tableau Text Table or Graph view that displays by Nationality, No_Deaths over time (in years). Comment on the key trends and patterns that are apparent in this Text Table/Graph (about 50 words).
Task 3.2) Create a view of the Deaths on Mt Everest in a Tableau Text Table or Graph view that displays by Location, Cause of Death, and Nationality. Comment on the key trends and patterns that are apparent in this Text Table/Graph (about 50 words).
Task 3.3) Create a view of the Deaths on Mt Everest in a Text Table or Graph view that displays by Expedition, Cause of Death and Nationality. Comment on the key trends and patterns that are apparent in this Text Table/Graph (about 50 words).
