Leaderboard by SmartVisuals

The board your report already has the numbers for.

Teams put a leaderboard on a screen because a rank is the one number everybody understands without training. Today they either hand-build a ranked table that looks like a spreadsheet, or they pay a gamification platform per user per month and export their Power BI data into it. SmartVisuals Leaderboard ends both. Bind an Entrant and a Value and you have a board. Bind a Period and it works out movement, streaks and personal bests by itself. No RANKX, no CALCULATE, no disconnected tables.

A BOARD, NOT A TABLE

• Real rank numbers, a podium for the top three, medals, and a tie marker: two rows on 1,240 are both 5= and the board says so.
• Ties are a setting with a name: competition (1224), modified competition (1334), dense (1223) or ordinal. Ties are detected on the value the board prints, so two rows that both show 980 share a place unless you say otherwise.
• Row images at any size from a data: URI column, with an initials fallback so a missing photo is never a hole.
• Highest wins or lowest wins. Rank defects, response times or costs and a falling number reads as a climb.
• Top N with an Others row that cross-filters to every row it stands for, and a total row. Five quick styles set a league table, a sales-floor TV or an executive top ten in one click.
• Conditional formatting (fx) on rank, name, value and bar colours, dynamic format strings, and on-object formatting: click a part of the board to format it.

WALL MODE

Large type, auto-paging through a long list, a page indicator and no chrome: a board built for the TV on the sales floor or in the plant. Hovering pauses it. Part of the premium tier.

FOUR THEMES THAT CHANGE THE CHARACTER, NOT THE HUE

SmartVisuals, Dark, Clean and Slate change the numerals, the row treatment, the bar style and the movement glyphs. Every colour, font and spacing is yours to override, and everything cosmetic is free.

BUILT FOR REPORTS, NOT DEMOS

Cross-filtering from any row, a group header or a cut-off zone, cross-highlighting, multi-select, bookmarks, the standard context menu, tooltips including report page tooltips. Responsive down to small tiles. With no fields bound, a miniature board shows which fields to add. Localized in 20 languages, with number formats from your own measures. A 5,000-row board renders a window and scrolls like a native table.

ACCESSIBILITY

Keyboard navigation with one tab stop (arrows, Home, End, Page Up/Down, Enter, Shift+F10), a visible focus ring, a screen-reader label on every row, and Windows high contrast. The Accessibility card sets the focus ring colour and width, a minimum text size, movement spelled out in words, and Reduce motion.

WHAT THE LICENCE ADDS

The free tier is a complete board: the top 20 named rows plus Others, every tie rule, logos, podium, themes, quick styles, conditional formatting, a total row, accessibility and every cosmetic setting. The licence adds the analysis.

• Movement and history - rank change against any earlier period, NEW badges, dropouts, streaks, personal best, the biggest mover, a sparkline and a rank history chart of every period. Movement survives every slicer.
• Targets and race analytics - percent to goal, the target marker, rank on percent of target or on change. The gap to the place above, to the leader and to the qualifying line, the pace a target still needs, Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers.
• Your own row - bind [Rep email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME() and every viewer sees their row highlighted, kept on screen and summed up: You: place 14 of 23, 22 behind place 13.
• Boards of any length, wall mode, grouped standings with subtotals, cut-off lines and pinned rows. Reports built before version 1.2 keep every row and percent to goal free.

Every premium feature previews free in edit mode, so you build with all of it before you buy. Licenses are per user, bought on Microsoft Marketplace and assigned in the Microsoft 365 admin center, no license keys.

NO LOCK-OUT, EVER

Unlicensed viewers always see the complete free board: no watermark, no lock icons, no broken visual. Without a licence the board reflows as if a premium setting were off - the top 20 stay named and the rest fold into Others, movement collapses, a wall board renders as the desk board.

No external calls of any kind: no fetch, no telemetry, images are inline data: URIs only.
