@AntrikshSharma,

I agree - fantastic first entry. Sharp color theme, excellent analysis, excellent use of tooltips (including really innovative dump filters tooltip).

My one constructive suggestion is that there’s a lot going on on this page, but it’s not clear what’s most important for the viewer to pay attention to. That should stand out - and can be communicated by size, position, color and/or explicit text.

Look forward to seeing more of your entries.

@BrianJ Thanks! totally agree with the feedback! I am sure you can give 100 more tips if you spend 10 minutes!

I wanted to get my hands dirty so that I can start thinking more in terms of creating reports, now that I have some idea and hands-on I am really pumped for more reports!

@AntrikshSharma,

Awesome – if you’re thinking about going back through more of the old challenges, I would highly recommend Challenge #4. They’ve all been interesting, but I found that one to be a particularly rich dataset that you could take in a lot of different directions.

Hey @LynetteC pretty sure the icon would’ve been placed in behind the doughnut chart with the doughnut chart’s background set to Transparency 100%.

Hi Lynette,

Find my librairy of icons attached for your perusal.

I may start with the original vector icon from the template attached. I may also slightly modify at times to make it unique. This is done using the PPT shapes and format menu (merge shape) .

I designe the vector image to my taste in Powerpoint. I then click on the image and save it to a target location in my document.


Once this is done, I insert the image to the PBIX dashboard by using the “Insert menu”. The Powerpoint design should match your overall report color scheme since you’ll save it as a picture.

Hello Everyone,

It’s my first time posting on Enterprise DNA’s Forum about the Power BI challenge. I know it’s already been a long time since the Challenge took place. But I would like to share my work on this platform. I worked on this report a few months back. It was my initial days with the Power BI tool.

I would like to know the feedback and suggestion on my work. I am looking forward to working more on such challenges.

Thank you!

Hello Pablo_Teran1,

I was wondering if you still had the PBIX file you created for the challenge? The link is not working.
Could you load it here so that I might download it? I like what you have done here and would like to replicate some of your visuals on one of my apps.

Thank you,
Dale
