1️⃣ Week 1 Challenge - now live!

• Let’s kick things off with one of the most important (and misunderstood) business metrics… headcount.
• This week, you’re not just showing a number - you’re telling the story behind how it changed.
• Your challenge: Build a waterfall chart that explains how headcount moved from Jan 1 → Mar 31
• Check out the starter file and build your own waterfall chart!
• You are welcome to use the data in the starter file or create your own. The key: keep it simple!

@Aala_Ali - great question and something I should clarify - thanks for asking. Submissions will be accepted up until 8:59am Pacific on Monday, May 11. And then the week 2 challenge will start at 9:00am! If you miss week 1, no problem, join us in week 2! All 4 weeks will follow the same pattern 🙂
