Yesterday, I taught a workshop on Dashboarding in R. I covered connecting RStudio to GitHub, creating dashboards in R, and hosting your dashboard as a website with GitHub Pages. Video Below:

After attending @shan_gsd's fantastic Data Viz for All session at #FabCon2025, I decided to jump into the Workout Wednesday challenge while waiting for my flight home.

Here’s my Week 13 #PowerBI submission.

@BillMakaka If you don’t want to go full shiny, flexdashboards are a great tool and are really easy to make if you are already working in R. Here is a workshop I ran last year that will walk you through the process.

@statacake I ran West Point’s intro stats course for 2 years, both in base R and after switching to tidyverse. I’d definitely recommend using ggplot2 for the visualizations. Here is what we gave students as an into to tidy and ggplot2. https://t.co/TkQFeMOT5G

Today I gave the last final to my Sabermetrics class, finishing my 4 years teaching at West Point. I feel lucky I was able to end my time here teaching our most R intensive course to 2 great classes. #RStats #highereducation

@CDavieSTEM I'm glad you liked it and found it useful. Great dashboard. I really like the choropleth map you added.

@FilmicAesthetic I'm glad you found it helpful. Once you start its hard to stop. I've made them to track everything from my workouts to sports betting.

[Dan @danielpballer]

@shah_f1 Shah, That's awesome. I'm glad it worked for you.

[Dan @danielpballer]

@FilmicAesthetic I hope you find it useful. Let me know if you have any questions.

@rvidal I have not tried deploying in a private space yet. One of the nice things about the dashboard is that it creates a stand alone HTML document that can be opened with any web browser. So you would be able to email the document out or hang it on an internal SharePoint.

Every year I run a NFL pick’em league in R for the West Point Math Dept and my students. This year our group predictions correctly picked over 61% of games for the season. Dashboard of results below. #RStats #NFL #Dashboard #dataviz
