Stacked Bar Charts can be very annoying, when you have small series. Because the data labels will not be displayed. Furthermore it can be hard to spot the trend for ever series. A smart way to overcome these issues is adding a list slicer that enables the user to turn on and off series.

Everybody who knows me knows that I’m a huge technology fan. Playing around with it is definitely part of how I learn. So, of course, I had to test AI to the bones and make it create a data song for my Power BI homepage. And what shall I say? I’m really happy with how it turned out—didn’t expect the result to be this great!

Here’s how I did it:
1️⃣ Asked ChatGPT for a song text that fits my homepage. "Can you create me a text for a pop song that talks about my data work. Infos can be found at www.jasmimsimader.com it should be funny and entertaining."

2️⃣ Created the song using Suno AI. "A modern upbeat pop song with a female voice."

3️⃣ Asked ChatGPT again for a picture of a rockstar singing, based on a reference photo of me. "Can you create a pop star version of me in pixar style 3D character with a confident smile as a data queen rocking the stadium taking this photo as a reference?"

4️⃣ Used KLING AI to turn the photo into a video. And Riverside/ Canva to add the captions and cut it. 

The result? A rockstar-worthy, AI-powered music video that brings data to life! So turn up the beat and let’s dance to data! 🎸🚀

Thanks a lot to Robert Seeger for the short instructions on how to do it.
