Power BI Challenge 5 - Wrap Up

@haroonali1000,

Great wrap-up, as usual.

@Melissa - congratulations on a well-deserved and inspiring win. Your entry was incredible, and has set the bar very high for the rest of us for future challenges.

Also, big congratulations to @Greg, @Alvi, @alexbadiu, @MudassirAli. In a parallel universe in which @Melissa chose to take this challenge off, each of your entries would have been a deserving winner.

Finally, loved seeing all the first-time entrants this challenge. Wonderful efforts, all!

Thanks @BrianJ for your appreciation. With these challenges, I have recognized my strong and weak points and will work on my weakness for future challenge. Frankly speaking, completing challenges is a fabulous outlet to learn new skills.

Looking forward for the next one.

Thanks everyone !!!

This was a tough one and there are a lot of great submissions by both experienced and newcomers to Power BI – that to me is truly amazing and a joy to see. Same goes for the increasing numbers of non-member participants :+1:

There’s so much to learn from these challenges, it’s mind blowing.
We all poses unique analytical insights and techniques making the challenges the perfect platform to explore and develop new skills and share that knowledge with each other.

@haroonali1000, in regard to “suggesting appointment dates”
Looking back I’d definitely go for generating a list in Power Query. Just one custom function allows you to extract so many different insights and planning perspectives - really powerful stuff IMO…

Honestly Melissa this is one of the best Power BI reports I’ve ever seen. The beauty is in it’s simplicity visually, but also the quality logic going on behind the scenes.

Organisations anywhere would pay top dollar for application like this I believe.

Amazing!

Feel the same way @tweinzapfel

No confidence in my abilities to go with the next one. I’m going back to #1 and try it.

congrats on the challenge.

I feel so over whelmed on the challenges. Looking at the posting how do i ever get there? I go thorough the videos.

I’m confused when to use power query and how to create to totals in query or do you create them after you load the table?

We were all at the same place once … with many people working on the same problem, one gets exposed to many different thought processes. Don’t worry for a second about how your ideas will compare with others … the real benefit of the challenges is to stretch yourself. Keep it up!
