Scoreboard by SmartVisuals

Every comparison is a match. Plant against plant, team against team, this year against last year: bind the numbers and the SmartVisuals Scoreboard plays them as a match, with big scores, who leads and by how much, the game clock and the goals as they come in. Free, with nothing locked.

A real match page

• Face-off with logos, codes, colours and huge scores; the lead is an arrow and a sentence ("PLZ LEADS BY 1,250"), never colour alone.
• Period linescore, momentum per period, a share-of-total bar and mirrored stats for extra measures.
• An events feed: every deal, order or shipment arrives as a goal, newest first.
• No side field? Two measures play each other: Actual vs Target, This year vs Last year.

Team logos, with no web calls

• Bind a Logo column with one picture per side as a base64 image data URI (data:image/png;base64,...), built in Power Query with Binary.ToText. The logos appear on every layout.
• Web addresses are never loaded, so nothing leaves the report. A value that is not an image, or is cut off by the text limit, is named in the format pane instead of failing silently.

Rules business needs

• Lower is better per measure, for defects, scrap or handle time.
• The lead as an amount, a percent or both; a tie margin, absolute or percent; scoring by measures won.
• Ratios read right: a measure such as OEE of 0.873 with no percent format shows as 87.3% and is averaged across periods, not added, and the format pane says so.
• With a Match field: a league table with points, for and against, the form guide in letters and named zones.

Made for wall screens

• Four layouts: match centre, TV score bug, stadium LED board with seven-segment digits, league table.
• Pages through fixtures; hover or P pauses. A clock counts down or runs the match minute, then reads FINAL or FULL TIME with the winner starred.
• Scores roll only when the data changes, a new event gets one gentle celebration, and an optional one-pixel drift protects OLED screens.
• Four themes with their own character, every colour adjustable, and a calm boardroom style. Text grows with the screen.

Features

• Cross-filtering and highlight: sides, periods, events and table rows filter the report, Ctrl adds to the selection, highlights dim what is left out; context menu and bookmarks.
• Tooltips with up to 8 extra fields, report page tooltips, on touch too.
• Multiple measures: up to 8, each with its own label, lower-is-better rule, percent or number display and how periods combine (sum, average, latest, max, min).
• Row totals: the league table shows one column per period, a Total column and the gap to the leader.
• Row-level formatting: top and bottom zone rows get a solid or dashed bar and a named legend; results show as W/D/L chips; each side keeps its own colour.
• Sorting of sides: as in the data, leader first or by name.
• Number format from the measure, full or compact (1.2K), decimals.
• Responsive: Layout Auto picks the score bug on small tiles; narrow league tables drop the least essential columns.
• Power BI theme support: optional report theme colours next to the four built-in themes.
• Guided setup: with no fields the visual shows a demo match and names the field to add next.
• PDF and PowerPoint export capture the settled board; up to 30,000 rows.
• Localized in 20 languages: format pane and every word on the board.
• Fully offline: no external calls, no telemetry, fonts built in, no privileges.

Accessibility

One keyboard tab stop with a visible focus outline: arrows, Home and End move, Enter or Space selects, Ctrl+Enter adds, Escape clears, Page Up and Page Down change match, P pauses. Screen readers get a summary of the board, a linescore table and live announcements of lead changes and goals. The Accessibility card sets the focus outline colour and width, a minimum text size and Reduce motion for the score roll and goal celebration (follow system, always reduce, off). Windows high contrast is supported, and a lead, result or zone is never shown by colour alone: arrows, words, letters and solid or dashed bars carry it.

New in 1.0.1.0: the Accessibility card, optional report theme colours, 20 languages and a setup hint shown in full on every tile size.
