Introduction
Welcome back to Workout Wednesday 2022! This week we’re continuing our work with images and building a fun Holiday Song Picker using the Image Grid custom visual in Power BI! We’ll use data from Spotify to help select a song based on Artist, Tempo, or Key.
If you’d like to follow along with the series, please start with Meagan’s holiday challenge calendar! You’re also welcome to start here!
Requirements
- Get and Transform Data
- Get data from Data.World
- Keep only the columns you need and name things in a way that makes sense to you.
- Create Measures
- Create a measure(s) to show users which song(s) they have selected! I called out Artist, Song, and Danceability
- Add Visuals
- Create a layout that works with your design. I used Spotify for inspiration and adjusted my canvas size.
- Add the Image Grid custom visual to your report and use the album image in the Image URL field
- Add any other slicers, visuals, text or fun visuals that help users pick a holiday song!
- Check your tab order and add alt text to ensure your song picker is accessible.
- Share Your Work
- As always, get creative and share your work with us on social media.
- If you’re completing the holiday series, add the URL to your song picker report to your week 48 report!
Dataset
This week we’re using data from Spotify, that’s stored in a Data.World dataset. Quick reminder that you’ll need to create a free Data.World account to access the dataset. The playlist itself can be found on Spotify.

Hello. Has the video been uploaded? As well as the Twitter Api project?
Hi David, apologies, I haven’t managed a video for this solution. I did find the Twitter API documentation to be quite helpful. Is there a specific place where you’re getting stuck? Feel free to shoot me a message on LinkedIn or Twitter and I can help!
I want video link for this
Hi Yamni! Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to make a video for this. Check out the solution .pbix file (linked above) which might help you recreate it!
