Strategy Map Example
I get a lot of questions regarding the Strategy Map that I used in my balanced scorecard example. Below is a simplified XLF template and a link to my SlideShare presentation describing the design process.
Cumulative Waterfall Combo Chart
In the past I was asked to recreate this chart from Excel into Xcelsius, but was unable to. Now with the Data-Ink custom theme, I was finally able to make it work. The effect was achieved through layering a stacked bar with a combo chart.
Interactive Timeline (Part 2 – With Call-outs)
This second installment of the interactive timeline leverages the Inovista "SVG Floating Background" add-on to display moving call-out boxes. This component gives you the full ability to change the X/Y coordinates at runtime.
Interactive Timeline
Back during the 2010 Reportapalooza, I had worked with the concept of an interactive timeline in my dashboard entry. This version works off the same concept, but has simplified the format and made it completely dynamic (compared to placing labels in fixed locations).
Dynamic Sorting & Layered Components
This dashboard template layers a bar chart over a spreadsheet component, allows for dynamic sorting, and uses push buttons to drill into a measure onto another tab. I'm hoping to use this example to help answer a number of questions that I've been getting.
Custom Choropleth Mapping
In working on the Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollment dashboard, I was asked if it was possible to recreate a choropleth map with MA penetration rates (enrolled/eligibles). With some more government data, a publicly available SVG map and the Inovista SVG controller, I was able quickly create a map showing all 3000+ counties. Here is my result, with two color themes. The first is referenced from Flowing Data Blog and the second was sampled from the original example.
Infographic Style Dashboard
A few days ago, Hubert Lee ("The Dashboard Spy") posted on a Dashboard Design LinkedIn group about a free download for an Infographics vector pack download. I thought that it would be an interesting challenge to turn that sample into a working dashboard. Ultimately I only used the image of the sample pack for reference and color samples.
Dashboarding Teamwork
I've been working with Ron Keler (@ronkeler) to build some new dashboard demos. Please check out his post about our Medicare enrollment dashboard that consolidates public data into a central database and serves up live XML data to feed our Xcelsius model here at BIHappy Blog.
Thermometer Chart Reposted
Here is another file originally posted on MyXcelsius.com that went missing. In this example, I used a PNG file to create whitespace around a progress bar. This example clearly shows where my idea for the scalable Sales Funnel originated.
Population Pyramid Reposted
I'm reposting my population pyramid template since the original file was deleted when I converted to WordPress. This template was originally discussed through my post on MyXcelsius.com which can be found here.
