Chart visualization data project help

Hey guys.

I need to create a project to visualize data in charts.
Basically the client is a volleyball trainer and is collecting data from a lot of games using a software called "Data Volley". This software is amazing, but it only shows numbers. So, he wants a easier way to visualize this and have insights to their players/teams.
I'm strugling here to think in a solution for this other than building a app from scratch. I mean, we already have a lot of tools to deal with data (power bi, metabase, ...) that probably will be cheaper for him and easier for me, best for both.
I tried using metabase to visualize the data but it has a lot of limitations, mainly because of the way that the data is provided. Take this example:

Cheat sheet:

Perfect action

  • Positive action ! Intermediary action
  • Negative action / Ignore the bar ones =ย Error action

I want to know what you guys think about that... I already know that using metabase it's probably not a option (I strugled a lot trying to make a few examples to see the feasibility) and I know nothing related to PowerBI.
Should I consider power bi for this?
Should I consider making a solution from scratch?
Do you guys have any other frameworks suggestions?

Hey Victor ๐Ÿ‘‹,

Ramiro here, part of the Metabase team. I'd love to help, but would love more info.

What types of visualizations are you aiming for? Using Metabase models could be a great first step to transform the data before diving into the visuals.
