Hi @ManchevB ,

Column charts can be useful to display numeric data. If categories as less you can use a Column chart to have it display like this-

If you have more categories to show, the you can even consider using stacked bar graph.

Yes it is always a good practise to add Chart title for your charts so that it becomes easy to understand the context of the data.

Hope this helps!

Hi @ManchevB ,

The donut chart would look more presentable if you can include the categories into a single chart.
Because that serves as the whole point; to differentiate the distrubition on various categories. A singlr donut chart for a single category is not informative and doesnt serve its purpose. If you would like to show single KPI per category you can instead choose a card visual per category.

Donut chart for different category.

do you think a column chart like this for the level is easy to understand also should I add a title that this is indeed a level breakdown?

Can someone give me guideance/feedback if the donutcharts I use as level on the top left corner are intuitive enough and are good way to put the levels:

Hi @ManchevB ,

Can you please  provide pbix or  more details about the dashboard ? Which aspect you need help with?

[ManchevB]

Hello, the report I am working on consists of one SQL connected table that feeds data from our company skills tool, where each employee can submitt skills. The 3 main columns are Skill Family, Skill Category and Skill Name. I need to create a userfriendly modern look and feel with that data. Ideally I am looking to get some feedback when I have a working report and also an example that I can use as inspiration

Hi @ManchevB, 

If you post a PBIX file I'd be happy to give feedback on it. 

Also if you post sample data in a useable format (not a screenshot) I could make an example for you.
