Nukes, Roosters, Loans and The Godfather: The 3-Minute Winners (Round 1!)

At the end of last year, we announced our 3-minute win challenge, asking you to show us what you could build from scratch in Tableau in 3 minutes or less. We didn't know what to expect, but your submissions blew us away. In fact, the challenge has been so popular that we're going to keep it open for a few more rounds. Each month, we'll choose our favorites, announce them here on the blog, and send each of the "3-minute winners" an ever-coveted DATA hoodie. Read on to see who took the prizes this month!
