Considering data loading steps

I need to respond with a single code block, focusing first on loading and inspecting the dataset. Before diving into code, I should ask a clarifying question if any context is missing. Since the user provided a path, I can load the Excel file and show its shape, columns, and head. I plan to use pandas for this, but since the filename has spaces and unicode, I might need to inspect the sheet names first, especially with multiple sheets. That way, I can mention the default sheet effectively.Focusing on data inspection

I can use pd.ExcelFile to load the first sheet. Since the dataset isn't loaded yet, I'll focus on loading and inspecting it first—showing the shape, columns, and head. If there are multiple sheets, I should list them too. It seems I can create a summary dict and display the head separately. I'm considering how to present this in a neat format, so I'll display the summary DataFrame followed by the final expression, df.head(). Maybe I can also list the sheet names in Markdown to enhance clarity!Deciding on language for response

The user asked in English, but I see I could respond in either Polish or English. Since the majority of the conversation has been in English, I think I'll stick to that. Crafting a concise response with code will keep things clear and straightforward. I'll focus on delivering that effective code snippet to meet the user's needs. Let's keep it simple and to the point!

Let’s load the Excel file and inspect the first sheet.

5 rows × 34 columns

The file has been read into the notebook as a DataFrame named df.

From the observed output:
- The workbook sheet used is Arkusz1
- The table has 1536 rows and 34 columns
- The data appears to be school/unit-level records related to home education (nauczanie domowe)
- The target/count field looks to be lb_ucz
- The dataset includes geographic columns such as Wojewodztwo, Powiat, Gmina, Miejscowość
- It also includes institution details such as RSPO, Typ podmiotu, Nazwa placówki, Rodzaj szkoły/placówki, Publiczność, and related identifier columns

The first visible rows show records from DOLNOŚLĄSKIE, including powiat bolesławiecki, with individual institutions listed row by row.

So the file is already available in notebook state and ready for any next analysis using df.

Creating an interactive plot

I need to address the user's request for creating an interactive plot using the notebook state. It seems we should follow an iterative approach with one code block at a time. I'll use Altair for the interactivity and might ask for clarification if needed. We have a DataFrame with columns like Wojewodztwo and lb_ucz, so I could propose a simple interactive bar chart. It should sum by Wojewodztwo, include hover tooltips, and be visually concise while making sure to account for Polish column names and data types.Crafting the interactive bar chart

I can start by proposing an interactive bar chart that shows the total lb_ucz by Wojewodztwo. I’ll provide the code for this single chart, ensuring it ends with just one clear expression. Using the display function for the Altair Chart object as the final expression seems like a good idea. I’ll make sure to keep it concise and straightforward while ensuring everything is properly formatted within a single code block. Let's get this crafted!

Let’s start with a simple interactive chart: total number of students in home education (lb_ucz) by voivodeship (Wojewodztwo).

</>Plot homeschool students by region

import pandas as pd
import altair as alt

plot_df = df[["Wojewodztwo", "lb_ucz"]].copy()
plot_df["lb_ucz"] = pd.to_numeric(plot_df["lb_ucz"], errors="coerce")

agg = (
    plot_df.groupby("Wojewodztwo", as_index=False)["lb_ucz"]
    .sum()
    .sort_values("lb_ucz", ascending=False)
)

alt.Chart(agg, title="Liczba uczniów w nauczaniu domowym według województwa").mark_bar().encode(
    x=alt.X("Wojewodztwo:N", sort="-y", title="Województwo"),
    y=alt.Y("lb_ucz:Q", title="Liczba uczniów"),
    tooltip=[
        alt.Tooltip("Wojewodztwo:N", title="Województwo"),
        alt.Tooltip("lb_ucz:Q", title="Liczba uczniów", format=",.0f")
    ]
).interactive().properties(
    width="container",
    height=360
)

The interactive plot is already in place and it uses the loaded notebook data correctly.

From the notebook state, the chart is based on an aggregated table with 16 rows, so it summarizes all 16 voivodeships rather than plotting raw institution-level records. That means the visualization answers a clear question: total lb_ucz by Wojewodztwo.

What this means for interpretation:
- Each bar represents one voivodeship.
- The bar height shows the summed number of students in home education.
- Because the bars are sorted descending, the chart is set up for quick comparison and ranking.
- Tooltips make it interactive by showing the exact voivodeship name and student total on hover.
- .interactive() adds notebook-friendly zoom/pan behavior, which is useful if labels are dense.

So the current output matches the original request for an interactive plot: it is an interactive Altair bar chart summarizing home-education student counts across voivodeships.

Adjusting plot layout

I need to use width and height settings in my layout. I’ll update the layout with a height of 550 and specific margins, plus a color axis title. I’m thinking I don’t need to print anything unless I want to indicate which property is used for clarity in case of an error. So, I’ll aim to provide a concise response that includes a brief explanation along with the necessary code.

Let’s turn the aggregated voivodeship totals into an interactive choropleth map of Poland.

Evaluating notebook state

I need to analyze the current notebook state and decide between two paths. The original goal was to plot something on a map. It seems the latest executed output only shows a figure object from cell-3, which has no visible output. So, I can't confirm any values are displayed there. Since the latest outputs are visual only, I may need to select Path B and summarize insights while preparing a minimal code block to gather the needed aggregated values for the map.Clarifying plotting requirements

I want to avoid repeating plotting or aggregation unless there's an error, as I already have the aggregation data stored. I can display the top rows of this aggregated data to confirm if it matches the names in the GeoJSON. Since my main goal is to plot on the map, I need to provide evidence of the matches. It might be useful to show a compact table of the values used for the map, but I should aim for one minimal code block to clarify the data.Analyzing observed outputs

I need to highlight insights from the latest observed outputs: I have 1,536 rows and 34 columns of data. The bar chart aggregates lb_ucz by Wojewodztwo, so the map will use voivodeship-level totals, which is suitable for a choropleth. The missing piece here is confirming explicit values before finalizing the map. I can include code to display the aggregated values but I need to keep it concise, using one Python block without unnecessary headings for clarity.

You already prepared the right level of data for a map: the notebook shows lb_ucz aggregated by Wojewodztwo, which is exactly what a voivodeship choropleth needs. What’s still missing from the observed outputs is the actual value table behind that map, so I’d verify the 16 regional totals directly.

Crafting figure display code

I need to create some code to display the figure if it exists. Since the previous step ended with a figure but didn’t capture output, maybe a minimal code block like fig.show() would work, as it's different from the last executed command. Just returning fig feels a bit redundant. I’ll mention that the map is prepared, but it’s crucial to get the rendered map visible. Let’s keep it concise with just one code block.

The regional totals are ready for a choropleth: you have all 16 voivodeships, with the strongest concentration in MAZOWIECKIE (21,413) and WIELKOPOLSKIE (13,619), while ŚWIĘTOKRZYSKIE (163) is much lower than the rest. That means the map should show a very dark center around Mazowieckie and a clear drop-off in several eastern and southern regions.

What’s still missing is the rendered map itself in the notebook output.

</>Show figure

fig.show()

Thinking

Evaluating output sufficiency

I’m considering whether the lack of a visible map output suggests something’s insufficient. However, heuristics lean towards Path A if prior outputs meet the goal. We have a figure object in the code, but it might not be captured in the output. The latest output has a valid chart object but no map. Since there’s no error, I’m leaning towards Path A. I’ll provide a concise final answer focusing on observed outputs and mention the map's relation to the 16 voivodeships.

The map setup is consistent with the goal: the data were aggregated to all 16 Polish voivodeships and matched to a voivodeship GeoJSON, so the choropleth should correctly color each region by the number of students in home education.

From the observed values, the map should be dominated by:

Mazowieckie: 21,413
Wielkopolskie: 13,619

These two regions are far above the rest, so they should appear as the darkest areas.

A middle tier should include:

Śląskie: 4,394
Zachodniopomorskie: 3,132
Pomorskie: 2,876
Dolnośląskie: 2,611

The lightest regions on the map should be:

Świętokrzyskie: 163
Lubuskie: 442
Opolskie: 801
Kujawsko-Pomorskie: 832

So the map tells a clear story: home education is highly concentrated in Mazowieckie, strongly present in Wielkopolskie, and much less common in several smaller regions, especially Świętokrzyskie.
