Using more colours in report is prevented by question: Why didn't you use corporate colours?

[@LearnBI]

A business’s brand identity usually contains a full colour palette you can use.

if my company have 50 shops and i want to view all sales performace what kind of chart you will recommend . Thank you for your answer from Bangkok Thailand

[@LearnBI]

Usually, with that many values to compare, you would just use a table. Or if you were comparing 2 metrics for each store you could use a scatter plot. Or you could use a treemap. All depends on the number of metrics and what the metrics are.

[@TheS65]

Good stuff. The way you package your presentation is awesome. Python content?

[@LearnBI]

Thanks for your feedback. No Python content as it's used more for data science than Business Intelligence.

[@TheS65]

@@LearnBI Ok, thanks.

Every time I remove axis labels and chart titles for work projects, I get told to put them back 😢 still, super great video. Solid information and production!

Around the 2:14 minute you mention a 'template' that is in the resources section that can be downloaded. I think I've clicked on every link and haven't found a template. Did you remove that link?

[@LearnBI]

It’s one of the free ebooks

pie charts for comparing percentages of a total so long as you have fewer than 5 values....what about if you have more than 5 values?

[@LearnBI]

You could try a treemap.

[@RobertVanCleef-h8o]

Great content. I am curious what your counsel would be in dashboard design for slicers and parameter elements. What tips do you have if the data to be displayed is really only 2 charts on a page, but the number of slicing/dimensional elements may be overwhelming (say 15 or so (all of which are relevant for how a practitioner would want to see their data)).

[@LearnBI]

That's not a typical scenario but as long as the filters are as organised as possible into a logical order and aren't all over the dashboard. I would suggest having like a "control centre" box on the right that contains all slicers.

[@matthiasgiger1875]

Great video about 7 important aspects designing information dashboards. I am not so sure however, if data storytelling can be done in a dashboard. In my opinion that’s more tied to someone presenting findings or making his or her point based on findings in a meeting.

[@LearnBI]

I appreciate your point of view but I can’t say I agree. A dashboard gives an at-a-glance snapshot of how a business is and has been performing. That is a story in itself.

[@petr6617]

Let me get this straight. This is the second video on dashboards that is full of empty talk about nothing and bullshit. I haven't seen a single one of your reports/dashboards, Adam. The bottom line is that it takes flair, taste, talent to design, color, and graphics. I don't think you have it, Adam. I'm sorry, Adam. Plus, Excel charts are stupid and we spend hours on creating tachos, limits, thresholds, just to illustrate the difference between two columns is annoying. Microsoft has unfortunately abandoned the idea of Power View and sent us to... Power BI. It takes a lot of work to make infographics like from Star Trek and we have to create our own graphical elements supported with VBA for example.

[@LearnBI]

Thanks for your thoughts, I seem to have touched a nerve. You are, I'm afraid, missing the point of the videos. I'm discussing Business Intelligence dashboards and the purpose they serve. It isn't a video about data visualisation as a whole. There is, of course, a place for more "designed" and visually appealing reports but that's not what I'm talking about. Think of car dashboards. They are functional and simple allowing the driver to obtain the information they need at a glance. They don't want too be distracted by unnecessary design elements. Does that clear things up for you or am I still talking bs? Very classy btw.
