The Contest Rules - Reviving the Challenge of the Month
From May

challenge will be for you to think of and then create the most
visually striking dashboard you can imagine using Microsoft PowerPivot and Microsoft Azure Data
Marketplace together in Microsoft Excel 2010! Just Build it!
How It Works: The Dashboard must be built in Excel 2010,
using PowerPivot to mash up two (2) or more Data Sets. At least
one (1) Data Set should be coming via Azure Data Marketplace
[ADM] ...Hint: How about Crime Stats or Weather Data? Key
to this competition is the phrase 'Visually Striking Dashboard';
consider the use of Charts, Conditional Formatting, Sparklines,
SmartArt, WordArt and More. The limitations are merely the
extent of your imagination for this one!
Entries will be required to include no fewer than
three (3) screenshots of your masterpiece and perhaps a little text
to fill us in on execution and what inspired your creation! Your
Screenshots will be featured on this page following the contest
and awarding of prizes!
