Interesting work here, appreciate your submission.

Definitely some work on’s from me to improve your report developments for the future. Definitely I think you want to simplify your color scheme you don’t want to have too many contrasting colors like you have currently. Also you maybe want to layout a more clearer title for your page. Usually this would be good at the top, potentially the top left.

Also next time round in the challenge tried to extend your creativity around visualizations and representing data. You want to look to always improve your critical thinking and storytelling abilities with power BI. You have such an amazing toolkit now with all of the features inside of power BI to tell incredible stories about data. So the sooner you can start practicing that on these challenges with demo data the better.

Great to have you involved in the challenge and appreciate your efforts.
