1. The data is the same but the new data is more current.  The new data goes to November 2017 while the NPR data goes to February 2017.  The NPR data reflects totals for the entire system.  It can be double-checked by comparing the total appointments from the new data, which totals the entire system, to the NPR data.  The numbers are fairly similar.
  2. Found the cities then filled the cells with green then filtered it by color.
