2024 Week 52 | Power BI: Text Slicers

Introduction

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year folks!

The last dataviz challenge for 2024 and we will be creating a Christmas Family Feud game with the new Text Filters in preview – don’t forget to ensure these are enabled before participating in the challenge.

Utilize as many filters as you like and prepare some conditional formatting on a list visual of your choice to set the survey answers invisible until selection.

Have fun with this one and go nuts with design (perhaps a touch of HTML and SVG animations) to make this appear like a swanky gameboard!!

Requirements

  1. Obtain the data from this Reddit post. Attribute the author. https://www.reddit.com/r/SampleSize/comments/zszcju/christmas_family_feud_results/
  2. Data has been grouped, to see the groupings click in the aggregate cells. Create a lookup for the original guesses and the grouped categories. Alternatively, use a preworked sample in this github : 
  3. Model Data so that at least three filters will slice independently. Hint: (disconnected tables are an option)
  4. Create a column ranking the highest category value to the lowest.
  5. Place the survey answer fields in the corresponding field wells of the text slicer visuals. Name each slicer as Guess 1, Guess 2 etc.
  6. Create a visual containing the list of grouped categories for the gameboard.
  7. Format the visual so that the rank is visible and the categories are visible only when the corresponding survey answer is filtered.
  8. Have fun
