Live COVID data dashboard using Tableau


I'm intended to build a live and interactive COVID-19 dashboard using the John Hopkins GitHub repo data. I'm newbie to Tableau. If there is any way to connect the data and auto refresh let me know. It mean a lot to me.

GitHub repo : https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data


Solution

  • Yes, you have to select the files that you want to use in your dashboard and find the URL of raw files on GitHub.

    For example, the GitHub page URL https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv will become https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv

    Now that you have the URL of raw files just follow this guide.
