About this talk

Accessible Power BI Data Storytelling

We've created a report that uses open data published by the World Bank to explore global trends in wealth & health. This report has been published to the Power BI community data stories gallery.

The video below walks through the report from a visual design perspective. Red–green color blindness affects up to 1 in 12 males (8%) and 1 in 200 females (0.5%)1 2. It reinforces how important concepts such as branding, accessibility, visual design, colour palette choice. interactivity and page layout are to allowing users to engage successfully with a report.

You can find the report on the Power BI Community Data Storytelling Gallery.

You can also watch a high-level walk-through of the report: Data Storytelling with Power BI: The World Bank World Health and Wealth Report
