Welcome to our third QuickViz challenge: Matrix magic

 

Your task:Create a matrix (or table) that clearly compares your data. Use formatting, highlights, and thoughtful layout to help viewers quickly spot patterns, differences, and the insights that matter most.

 

These challenges are a fun way to practice your data visualization skills, experiment with Power BI, and share your insights with the community. These are meant to be quick, easy, and fun! Please attach your .pbix file so that the rest of us can learn from you!

 

Requirements:

  • Create a matrix
  • Add some visual formatting
  • Keep it simple

 

Submit your .pbix in theQuickViz gallery! Just upload the .pbix and we'll publish it for you so that people can see it and vote!

Be sure to submit by the 27th at 11:59pm Pacific time. If you miss the deadline, that's okay! Remember, the earlier you submit, the longer you have to rack up those votesπŸ™‚

 

This week's sample file was created by Lakshmi Ponnurasan (it's attached here). We are using the matrix she built as a part of the Student Dataviz Contest. Notice how the matrix give more information than just a list of numbers - it's informative and interesting!

You are welcome to use the data from Lakshmi's sample file, or create your own! Choose your own matrix adventure!

  • In hindsight, I should have picked Alchemy over Tailoring, never had much time for alts.

  • Hello slindsay ,

    I need your help to open the dashboard 'Matrix magic.pbix' as I am encountering an error. I have attached a screenshot for your reference, as provided by Lakshmi to solve this week's challenge.

    Thanks,
    Anshul.

    Hi AnshulG68 - I am so sorry you're encountering this error - I haven't seen this one before! Can you confirm that you're on the latest version of Power BI desktop?

    As a workaround, you could also try opening the file that contains the matrix - which is a larger file that we used for the student dataviz contest - here's the download link.

    Let me know what you find! You're also welcome to send me a private message - whatever you prefer!
