This week’s #WOW2024 was an interesting one — building a candle line chart!

While fairly simple to build, this challenged me to think about how we usually show YoY change with line charts.

By de-emphasizing last year’s trend, the audience focuses more on the deltas YoY.

Hey there #DataFam! Welcome to week 48 of #WOW2024...

So what are doing this week? We're gonna play different mark types on dual axis. This week's challenge is something I'm calling a "candle line" chart.

Check it out and have fun recreating it! 🚀🚀🚀
