Update - May 1
BLUF: The updated tool is at the bottom of this post, or at the page "the tool" at the navigation bar on top. More detailed guidance for use is at the original post, directly below this one.
Details - May 1:
Since i've recieved a shocking (as in, more than zero) number of views on this, and it looks like some people may actually be finding it helpful despite the sub-par UI, I've made a few updates ahead of schedule. Financial data for 2022 is now included, and a minor UI improvement will be coming in the next day or two as well. Getting the mobile layout running will hopefully be following that, but may take more time.
The concurrent goal for the mobile layout and UI improvement, is to setup end-user inputs for a dynamic ranking system. This has proved to be more of a challenge than I expected to get done in Power Bi, but I hope to have a beta version running and posted here in the next one to two weeks. The idea with the dynamic ranking would be to allow for end users (you guys) to give custom weights, to custom fields, then have the system spit out a ranked list based on those inputs. I.e., I give 50% weight to employment outcomes, 30% weight to total COA, and 20% weight to the existing USWNR rank; it runs all those numbers together, and gives you a list numbered 1 to 196, of which schools best fit those criteria.
But again, it's going to take some time before that's even ready for a test-run. So again, the updated tool is posted below, and on the dedicated page, and feel free to continue reaching out with any suggestions or comments!
