Power BI Challenge 10 - Wrap Up!

Congratulations to @alexbadiu, @jbressan and Jihwan - fantastic job all around. @alexbadiu - another absolutely masterful entry (and epic writeup) that I have been borrowing liberally from for a number of my current reports in progress.

Truly awesome job by everyone on this challenge – had @haroonali1000 chosen any of the reports he cited as the winner, I truly would’ve had no quarrel with that. And there were many reports other than the ones he cited that I thought were terrific as well.

Given that we’re approaching the new year, which is always a good time to take stock, if you’ve been participating in these challenges for a while take a minute or two to do the following exercise – go back and look at your first submission and then your most recent one. I bet for nearly everyone who has participated in a number of challenges, you will see amazing growth and improvement between those two reports. I know when I did that exercise, the comparison between the two was stunning.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank @haroonali1000 for the remarkable job he’s done developing and running the challenges this year. The range of scenarios has been fantastic – each has been completely different from the last, but all of them have been real-world relevant, creative, interesting and definitely challenging. I always look forward to reading your excellent wrapups, and the community spirit and energy you’ve created around these challenges is one of the best parts of them. Well done, sir! :clap: :clap:

Haroon has given me a sneak peek at the January challenge topic, and all I can tell you is rest up, enjoy the holidays, and get ready for an awesome challenge (maybe the best topic to date) in January.
