#89 PowerBI-report UEFA Champions League Titles by Team, history (seasons 1955-56 to 2023-24, winner: Real Madrid)
On 1/6/2024, Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) final from Borussia Dortmund, and with this its 15th UCL-title (!).
I made a Power BI dashboard with all teams that won the UCL (before 1992 called European Cup), from the first season, 1955-56 until now (season 2023-24), here some screenshots.
NB: at the bottom of this blog-post I included the dashboard (embedded, interactive version) + download-URL.
With filter on Country = Netherlands (country #4 in ranking #UCL-victories per country):
You can do a drill-through for Real Madrid (-bar) to see the details of all Real Madrid's UCL-victories:
To see how Real Madrid got to these 15 UCL-titles over time, I made a chart with the cumulative # titles.
In this chart you can see e.g. that Real Madrid won the first 5 UCL-finales in a row (with Real Madrid -legend Di Stefano).
NB: The DAX-formula for measure cumulative # titles, I got with help from ChatGPT:
With this decomposition tree chart, you can see a breakdown of the 15 UCL-titles, where I chose the path: Country (Spain) > Team (Real Madrid) > Coach (Ancelotti, trainer with most UCL-victories, total 5, 3 with Real Madrid and 2 with AC Milan) and Season/Year (2023-24)
To make a Power BI dashboard as this, normally I'd search for the dataset on internet, e.g. Wikipedia, and then transform the dataset for my reporting-needs (e.g. in Power Query). But now there are generative AI tools/chatbots as OpenAI's ChatGPT, which I used, that can create the dataset you want, or close to it.
For the dataset that ChatGPT generated for me, it missed data for UCL season 2023-24, because ChatGPT has a cutoff date of Jan.2022, so the data for that season I had to add manually.
ChatGPT created some Python-code for the dataset, which can be loaded in Power BI (as it also told me):
I also asked ChatGPT which visual it would recommend for this data, and it even draw the chart itself (something that was not possible with ChatGPT 3.5, but now with ChatGPT 4o it is):
So these new AI-tools can make the life of a data-analyst and data-journalism work as I did for this post much easier, until one day we are not needed anymore..
