Intro
It's hard learning how to perform advanced data analysis and write meaningful Beast Mode calculations when all you've got to work with is boring old marketing campaign spreadsheets. Believe us, we know. To that end, we present a list of far more interesting datasets you might find useful as you learn how to build cards and analyze data in Domo.
Not satisfied with the datasets listed here? You can find thousands more on Kaggle, a website in which users upload their own datasets for competition.

120 Years of Olympic History
This dataset provides athlete and event data for all Olympics held from 1896 to 2016. It is available in CSV and XLSX format.
This dataset was compiled by Kaggle user Randi H. Griffin. For more information about the dataset and ideas for how to use it, visit https://www.kaggle.com/heesoo37/120-years-of-olympic-history-athletes-and-results/home.
When using this dataset, note that the Winter and Summer Games were held in the same year up until 1992. After that, they began to be staggered, such that the Summer and Winter games alternate on a four-year cycle. A common mistake people make when analyzing this data is to assume that the Summer and Winter Games have always been staggered.

For example, the superhero "Banshee" is assigned a value of "TRUE" for "Flight," "Audio Control," "Force Field," "Enhanced Hearing," "Sonar," and "Sonic Scream," and "FALSE" for all other powers.

Mushroom Classification
This dataset includes descriptions of hypothetical samples corresponding to 23 species of gilled mushrooms in the Agaricus and Lepiota families, drawn from The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms (1981). Each specimen is identified as definitely edible, definitely poisonous, or of unknown edibility and not recommended. (This latter class was combined with the poisonous one.)
This information is recommended only for use in honing your skills in data structuring and analysis. Please DO NOT use this information as a botanical reference/survival guide for determining mushroom edibility. Wild mushrooms should only be identified by professionals.
This dataset is available in XLSX format only.

U.S. Baby Names
These datasets list most names in usage in the U.S. between 1880 and the present, with the count of each name given per year. Only names given to at least 5 babies in the same year are included in the datasets. The first dataset, NationalNames.csv, provides counts of all names throughout the U.S. as a whole, while the second, StateNames.csv, breaks these counts down by individual state (therefore it is significantly larger).

The World Happiness Report is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness. The World Happiness 2017, which ranks 155 countries by their happiness levels, was released at the United Nations at an event celebrating International Day of Happiness. The report continues to gain global recognition as governments, organizations and civil society increasingly use happiness indicators to inform their policy-making decisions.

Speed Dating Experiment
For this dataset, data was gathered from participants in experimental speed dating events from 2002-2004. During the events, the attendees would have a four-minute "first date" with every other participant of the opposite sex. At the end of their four minutes, participants were asked if they would like to see their date again. They were also asked to rate their date on six attributes: Attractiveness, Sincerity, Intelligence, Fun, Ambition, and Shared Interests.
The dataset also includes questionnaire data gathered from participants at different points in the process. These fields include: demographics, dating habits, self-perception across key attributes, beliefs on what others find valuable in a mate, and lifestyle information.
This dataset was compiled by Columbia Business School professors Ray Fisman and Sheena Iyengar and uploaded to Kaggle by user Anna Montoya. For more information, see the Kaggle page at https://www.kaggle.com/annavictoria/speed-dating-experiment/home.
This dataset is extremely complex, with over 200 columns. For your convenience in interpreting the columns, a key is provided along with the CSV file containing the data.
