Let's hunt for some data
Whip open Google Docs
1, 2, 3 ... Scrape
Doesn't it just make you breathless?
Create a working copy
Paste
(also re-arrange the columns as shown - you'll need this later)
Sort by density
Now let's pivot
honestly not as scary as it sounds
Put the provinces in the rows
Densities for the values
Change from sum to max
i.e. we want the largest density by province
Vlookup - this can be scary
but really, we just want to find out which municipality has a density of 588.1
Tada!
densest municipalities by province
Now let's chart it
create a copy of the data
we just need re-arrange it a little
Select the data and press chart
Select a chart type
Done
it's safe to breath now
