Excellent dashboard, thank you so much for sharing this content. Would you happen to have the source code published in GitHub?
I’m in the process of publishing this in Colab.

I’m not good enough in PowerBI to write “functions” like I did to support pagination for instance, but that may be doable directly in a PowerBI file.
At the end of the day, what is doable in both approach is:
