I am quite new to Power BI and don't have much knowledge about it. I got the requirement to develop a report exactly as it is in the legacy system. The report has integrated bullet charts in a table and a custom collection of dimensions / facts.
Here's a screenshot:
Would it be possible to come up with a Power BI solution for that report which resembles the original more than 90%?
My current report tool doesn't support bullet charts at all (hence I am trying Power BI). However with Power BI it seems that you cannot integrate visuals like bullet charts (tried https://okviz.com/bullet-chart/) into a table.
It would be helping if you could choose one of these answers:
Yes, that's exactly what Power BI was made for and you can get it
from mostly standard functionality within the tool.
Yes, that's possible but you have to use some creative ways to come
up with a solution.
No, visuals, and tabular data are always two separate things in Power
BI
I think you can get duplicate the functionality pretty well, even if the exact formatting is a bit different.
Microsoft does have a Bullet Chart Visual that you can easily add to the out-of-the-box visualizations in Power BI using the Import a custom visual button. Here's a screenshot from the page I linked:
You can use the OKViz one you linked just as easily.
Whether you can get formatting that "resembles the original more than 90%" is unclear. I don't know how much of the style is required to match or how closely.

I need to draw a more elaborate Mindmap to present my test strategy to my client. I have no experience of creating mind map with any tool.
Can someone suggest any good mindmap making tool?
For "pure" mind mapping I would suggest Freeplane (free and open source). I know people using Freeplane for professional test case generation. Very helpful in this respect are
extensive scripting support that can be used to support testcase entry and for customized exports
multiple fields per node that can be used for different purposes: attributes (tabular data), notes, detail
If your primary focus is the generation of presentations then you should probably use a different tool.
For more elaborate mindmap I would suggest XMind.
With XMind you can even create testcases inside your mindmap using its matrix features. There are lots more features like:
Timeline
Gantt view
Filters
Drilldown
Try https://github.com/mindolph/Mindolph , this desktop application provides features that you can create and manage mind map easily.
You may try online service MindMup or desktop ConceptDraw MINDMAP. Though the first one is not that professional and intuitive as ConceptDraw tool, it is free. The second product has a 21-day trial period, brainstorm mode, multiple hyperlinks, export to MS PowerPoint or Web pages and so on.

I want to generate a table containing different calculations.
I want to generate a chart using the data from the table. If possible.
I tried before with view aggregation but no luck so far
I can't use google chart . Machine don't have access to internet.

Using Charts in combination with Highcharts is for sure an option that does not require an internet connection. However you'd have to check The license terms to see if you qualify for a free license (at no Cost). Refer to Steps to create charts using the views UI for step by step instructions.
There are some other modules available also, which also facilitate the creation of charts, and which might be considered as a possible alternative to the charts module. Checkout the Comparison of charting modules I creatief, for more details about them.
I am preparing an offer for a customer. They proide weekly data to different organizations. There is huge amount data suits OLAP that needed to be visualized with charts and pivot tables on web and custom reports will be built by non-it persons (an easy gui). They will enter a date range, location which data columns to be included and generate report and optionally export the data to Excel. They currently prepare reports with MS Excel with Pivot Tables and but they need a better online tool now to show data to their customers. Tables are huge and need of drill-down functionality. My current knowledge Spring, Flex, MySql, Linux. I have some knowledge of PostgreSQL and MSSQL and Windows. What is the easiest way of doing this project. Do you think that SSRP (haven't tried yet) and ASP.NET better suits for this kind of job. Actually I prefer open source solutions. Flex have OLAP Data Grid control which do aggregation on client side. JasperServer seems promising but it seems I need enterprise version (multiple organizations and ad hoc queries). What about Modrian + Flex + PostgreSQL solution? Any previous experience will be appreciated. Yes I am confused with options.
Take a look at DynamicJasper, it's based on JasperReports, but dynamically!
They have a web demo running here, the demo shows how to customize the report results. But as your users wont be IT people, then you will need less options.
DJ Charting API does not appear in the demo, but you can check it here
I'm new to Flex but need to generate some visualizations of some time-based data. Any recommendations for tools that would work well in Flex?
Be sure to keep an eye on a new project called Axiis that was recently announced by Tom Gonzalez, a prominent Flex developer. It's a data visualization framework that should make custom charting very interesting.
Flex Builder Pro gives you access to the graph visualization library in mx.charts.
If you want an open source solution, you can try Flare.
If you're willing to pay for it (I think it's in the USD $250 range), Flex Builder Pro is definitely the way to go. The graphing and charting power in the libraries is impressive. It's quite simple to generate nice looking, complex graphs with not much coding.
Something other that the builtin mx.charts?
I'm using the standard Flex Charting - which is extremely configurable - we've been able to make it look pretty much how we want it to...
However, also take a look at iLog Elixir - they provide some superb additional charts that you might find useful - particularly the 3D charts. The Radar chart can be very effective in some situations but you really need the RIGHT place to use such a thing. Also they have a good heatmap and pivot charts.

Jamie.
Some very interesting charts, and they have free-with-logo and pay-and-have-the-source versions, is amCharts. They can be used directly in a web page, feeding settings by XML and data by CSV (as services, by javascript or whatever) and also inside Flex projects.
