This week was very important for me in terms of learning and practical exposure. I continued working with data and dashboards, and I started understanding how things actually work in real projects instead of just following steps.
One of my main learnings this week was working with Metabase. I explored how dashboards are created and how data can be shown in a simple and meaningful way. I learned how different charts like bar, line, pie, and tables can be used based on the type of data and requirement. Earlier, I used to think dashboards are just about showing numbers, but now I understand that the way data is presented really matters.
I also created a sample dashboard on my own. This helped me understand how data flows behind the dashboard and how each component is connected. While building it, I realized that even small changes in logic can affect the final output. This made me more careful and thoughtful while working with data.
Along with individual learning, I worked closely with my teammates on Metabase. We were building dashboards for multiple projects, and one of the most challenging parts for us was creating a separate filter for each project. The goal was that when someone selects a project, it should correctly show the count of active users only for that selected project.
Initially, we were confused about how to apply the filters properly. The data was there, but connecting the filter with the correct logic was not easy. We spent time analyzing the problem, discussing different ideas, and testing multiple approaches together. After a lot of trial and understanding, we finally managed to make the filter work as expected.
Seeing the dashboard update correctly and show the right active user count based on the selected project was very satisfying. This experience taught me that real learning happens when you face challenges and try to solve them instead of giving up.
Overall, this week helped me improve my understanding of dashboards, filters, and real-world data problems. More importantly, it increased my confidence. I now feel more comfortable working with tools like Metabase, collaborating with a team, and handling practical challenges step by step.
What’s Next ?
This is just the beginning of my journey. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more real experiences including deeper challenges, mistakes I make, how I fix them, and what actually works in real-world data projects. I’m excited to learn more, build better dashboards, and grow step by step.
Looking forward to sharing Week 2, where the learning gets even more interesting.
