Creating the Subdataset
As we only want the year for this dataset, we extract the year from each entry as the data we are using stores dates in a “YYYY-MM-DD” format.
Then, we transformed ranking positions into a score using this rule:
Position 1 → 100 points
Position 2 → 99 points
… and so on.
After this, we sum the ranking points for each year across all macrogenres.
Next, we created a pivot table to obtain a format suitable for Flourish.
Finally, we added a binary indicator:
if the value was different from 0, we assigned count = 1, otherwise 0.
Final structure
| Year | The year |
| A column for each macrogenre | Rank point count per year |
| Binary indicator columns | 1 if present, 0 if absent |
