PBI10 Competition Dashboard

PBI10 Competition Dashboard

For the 10th Anniversary of Power BI, I wanted to focus a little more on pushing beyond the boundaries of power BI to it's absolute limits. Hopefully the analysis behind it provides a little more context into the cause of celebration.

Accessibility

Any creation where accessibility isn’t considered from the very beggining is a failure. Mahadeo Sukhai provides some great tips for making things accessible.

Testing Tools

Two major accessibility testing tools are WAVE by WebAIM, and AXE Devtools by deque. Testing Methodology: Run WAVE, then run AXE in a new window with the “Internet Use is UP” tab since it is the most complex tab.

WAVE score:

  • 0 Errors
  • 25 Alerts (1 orphaned form label, 1 Missing first level heading, 1 Link to PDF document, 1 Noscript element, 1 Very Small text, 20 Redundant title text)
  • 2 Major Features (Alternative Text & Language*)
  • 12 Structural Elements (2 Heading level 2, 4 Heading level 2, 2 Unordered lists, 2 inline frames, 2 generic regions)
  • 213 ARIA features*.

AXE DevTools:

  • 0 Total Issues
  • 2 Minor Errors (All page content should be contained by landmarks*)

* Power BI Features

Colors

I wanted to prove you can make something really good looking without having to mess with colors, so I just used the default Power BI theme colors - with a bit of a twist - :

Contrast changes with the color of the background when fireworks are enabled, however this only occures on static text.
