This is a magnificent report. I love the design and color, and the innovation in the visual presentation. The animated play axis on the scatter chart really adds to the depth of insight from that visual. The use of tooltips, drill throughs, pop outs provides such a rich analysis within such a compact report. The varied choice of visuals (scatter, bar, ribbon, box and whisker, etc. ) is also very effective.
My only suggestions for improvement are minor navigational features: it would be nice to have a home button that takes you back to the front page, as well as an easy way to clear the slicer panel. The drill through on the ribbon chart is great, but the click right option sometimes gets lost – I might include a dynamic drill through button that changes color when drill through is an option.
Overall, a knockout entry that immediately reflects your unique style and approach.

P.S. the Insight page does not show up on Publish to Web, so it would be great if you could include a screenshot of what that page looks like.
Thanks @BrianJ, though I didn’t think to really include a home button as it’s one page, but I could see how that’s useful. I didn’t remember until I published that the insights wouldn’t work on published to web ha. Here’s the screenshot:
At least the forecast and outlier features work just fine! That play axis was a bit annoying as I couldn’t figure out how to get the color to not be grey!
@Greg hey you went purple and I went blue this time around Your report looks awesome! The top navigation is slick, and the side bar with the details at the bottom left are a professional touch too. I like all the scatters! I like it all really ha. Also, what is that date thing you used on the Defects page?
@marieke Great report! I think these features are awesome:
I love the consistency and how the report flows very nicely as I use the buttons to navigate! I could toggle between vendor/plants/materials and everything was easy to understand and it made sense because of the consistency.
The toggle to change the measure on the charts between defects and downtime!
The details table is spaced and sized well, and the slicers are in the order of the table columns. The conditional formatting is also on point. I was playing with it and it showed hidden gems such as a lower defect count leading to higher downtime here:
Thanks so much @datazoe. I was hesitant to use a white background with darker visual colours for the background (I prefer the white-on-white with shadows), but it worked a bit and I’m glad you like it. The Defects page uses Microsoft’s Timeline Slicer custom visual set to year/quarter/month only instead of a standard date slicer.
(Takes up too much screen real estate in my view, but proved useful in this page nonetheless.)

Hi Everyone,
I wanted the tenth challenge to be special, it is the tenth challenge so far, so I choose Pixel Art to be the general theme of this challenge, yes, fifty years have passed since the creation of this graphic designer in computer art that focuses on visual communication and presentation, common uses of pixel art include print and broadcast media, web design, and games.
I decided to make a report on one hand, simulating pixel art games and on other hand, providing clear answers to the questions of this challenge(I hope), it was really a difficult thing to combine the two sides, but I did it and I was enjoying it.
Since we are talking about pixel art games, I said to myself, why don’t I make a real game on Power BI (I know it sounds weird), well I know that Power BI is not a game engine as I know that Excel is not a database but why not!
So in honor of Fifty Years of Pixel Art, I invite you to try my mini-game: Stairway To (symbolic Game), I hope you enjoy it.
@Rachwen_Mesbehi, I absolutely love your creativity! Such a great report & analysis! You created a perfect Pixel art universe, and the user journey is just impeccable! It is a real pleasure exploring your report!
This is incredible. In my past writeups, I’ve encouraged people to use the challenges as an opportunity to “be the mad scientist” and explore approaches and techniques that you wouldn’t necessarily try in your daily work. This report is the most mad scientist thing I’ve ever seen, and I mean that in the absolute best possible way. The graphics, the organization of the pages, the navigational and narrative flow and the astonishing level of detail all contribute to an incredible user experience (love the mini game!). Yet within this immersive game environment, the analysis at the heart of the report is outstanding.
Through the Credits screen, I found your webpage and the past challenges you’ve gone back and redone. You are remarkably talented, and your reports are all a joy to explore.
In every challenge or report I always try to do my best, I try to give each report its own soul and unique touch, I think, it goes far beyond the concept of " Reporting", yeah, maybe we can call it " Data art".
So from a mad scientist to another, thanks @BrianJ for your lovely feedbacks , you made my day Sir !!!
Hi Rachwen,
I 've just noticed your reply. I have clicked on the link and it seems to be working fine for me. I did notice this afternoon that my free Pro License trial has expired so I’m not sure if that’s what’s causing the issue.
Anyhow, I have reposted it again below your reply. Try it again and if that fails I may upgrade to a paid pro license or send it in to Harroon to upload. Let me know please.
If you or any of the other entrants have problems with Publish to Web, you can just email me your file at brian.julius@enterprisedna.co and I will be glad to publish it for you and send you back the link.
Another incredible group of reports this challenge, with more to come. I already feel bad for @haroonali1000 having to judge among them…
Brian
P.S. Did your copy of DAX Cookbook finally get delivered?
@BrianJ
Thanks for the quick reply. I was just wondering if you were able to view my report? It works fine for me. As you can probably see I have viewed it twice. I have just upgraded to a Pro license so I am interested to see if that makes a difference. That should update in about an hour or so.
The DAX Cookbook arrived on Thursday but I was too deep into the challenge at that point to get into it properly. I am going to be putting a pot of coffee on later and downloading the files. Lots of amazing patterns to work through and keep me busy.
Please let me know if you are unable to view my entry and I will send it over.
Thanks again
Craig.
