Hi everyone, Here’s my entry for the Power BI DataViz Championship EU Edition. The report focuses on two key goals: Providing quick and accessible insights for journalists to help them kick-start their writing process. Allowing a deeper dive into the data for more detailed exploration. The report consists of five pages: Home Page – A brief overview that gives a glimpse of what to expect. Insight Page – A tool for journalists to quickly find insights across different datasets and regions. By applying just a few filters, journalists get a list of scenarios with dynamic key insights and visuals. I also included a sentiment filter that lets them choose the angle they want to write from (positive, negative, or neutral). Population Page – A deeper dive into population data, showing how growth has developed over time. Culture Participation Page – Insights into who is most active in cultural activities. Happiness Page – More detailed information on life satisfaction scores. The design is centered around the needs of journalists. For example, the Insight Page uses a two-column layout: Parameter selection (topic and region). Automatically generated visualizations — essentially a “first draft” for an article, with a suggested title and key insights. The other report pages all follow a consistent design for ease of use, with: Slicers to filter the data. Dynamic insights that summarize key European averages (with expandable/collapsible details for a cleaner look). Map visuals to highlight country-level differences. A side panel with three visuals: one for regional comparisons, one for trends over time, and one table showing highest/lowest values to help uncover story ideas. Small design details that might go unnoticed but add value: Dynamic data labels in line charts (highlighting only the selected year). Animated icons for a more interactive feel. Customized data labels for map visuals. Alt text and an accessibility-focused color scheme. If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it. And if you like the report, a like would mean a lot! eyJrIjoiZDE5NDMxNDYtYjAxNS00ODBiLWExYmMtYTdmZjJkZDM3ZjU2IiwidCI6ImVhZTAwY2E1LTY0MTYtNDE5MC1iYjBmLWNiNTFkMzVjZDg3OCIsImMiOjZ9

Europe by Numbers: Data for Stories

Hi everyone,

Here’s my entry for the Power BI DataViz Championship EU Edition.

The report focuses on two key goals:

Providing quick and accessible insights for journalists to help them kick-start their writing process.
Allowing a deeper dive into the data for more detailed exploration.

The report consists of five pages:

Home Page – A brief overview that gives a glimpse of what to expect.
Insight Page – A tool for journalists to quickly find insights across different datasets and regions. By applying just a few filters, journalists get a list of scenarios with dynamic key insights and visuals. I also included a sentiment filter that lets them choose the angle they want to write from (positive, negative, or neutral).
Population Page – A deeper dive into population data, showing how growth has developed over time.
Culture Participation Page – Insights into who is most active in cultural activities.
Happiness Page – More detailed information on life satisfaction scores.

The design is centered around the needs of journalists. For example, the Insight Page uses a two-column layout:

Parameter selection (topic and region).
Automatically generated visualizations — essentially a “first draft” for an article, with a suggested title and key insights.

The other report pages all follow a consistent design for ease of use, with:
