The Twelve Days of Christmas: Are you on Santa's Naughty List?


 Ever since I moved to New Zealand, it has been a struggle to get in the Christmas mood- summer Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas. So this year I thought I'd try to find some festive examples to get in the holiday spirit. 



As part of the 12 Days of Christmas, I will demonstrate how to use Power BI to create the report above, helping Santa keep track of who has been naughty and who has been nice. I have used a few techniques to make this work:

  • Day 1: Get data from PDF
  • Day 2: Expand table data
  • Day 3: Append queries
  • Day 4: Customize report page wallpaper and report theme
  • Day 5: DAX measures using SELECTEDVALUE() to customize text and report based on slicer selections
  • Day 6: DAX measures using HASONEVALUE() to add conditions and checks to your report
  • Day 7: Buttons with Page Navigation action using conditional formatting
  • Day 8: Sync Slicers across report pages
  • Day 9: DAX measures using SWITCH() to add meaning to a page
  • Day 10: Custom visual Comicgen to add emotion to your data
  • Day 11: Custom visual Enlighten Data Story to add text and context to your data
  • Day 12: Bookmarks to reset filters and improve end user experience
So check your Naughty or Nice status in the report above, and tune in on Christmas Day for the first post in the series. Subscribe to this blog so you don't miss future updates.
