Northwind Challenge

Welcome to the November challenge! The challenge is to create a dashboard from the data (below). It’s a simplified version of the Northwind database.

Submit your solutions to darcy@generalBI.com or post them in our facebook group.

We will have a mini-conference to go over the solutions! The solutions will be posted here too!

Looking forward to your submission!

Balancing Bins

This interesting problem showed up in the Excel Reddit so we posed it as a problem in the General BI Facebook Group.

Given the list of items on the left, how to divide them into three groups as equally as possible by weight? It doesn’t have to be the same number of items in each group. Just the closest match for weight across the three columns. The image is from Excel but show a solution in whatever tool you think is the best.

We’ll present the solutions that were submitted in the Mini-Conference this Thursday!

After that we’ll post any solutions here.
