Step 1: Power Query Cleaning
I started with a messy CSV file full of inconsistencies. Using Power Query, I:
- Cleaned and transformed 20+ columns
- Parsed and normalized sales volume data (even those tricky “K” suffixes)
- Removed duplicates and irrelevant fields
- Extracted brand names from product titles using conditional logic
Step 2: DAX Categorization & Price Analysis
Once the data was clean, I used DAX in Power Pivot to:
- Categorize phones into Low, Mid, and High price tiers
- Create custom price interval bins for deeper segmentation
- Calculate the difference between original price and actual product price to analyze discount patterns
Step 3: Pivot Tables & Visuals
I built multiple pivot tables to explore:
- Brand sales volume — comparing performance across Samsung, iPhone, Nokia, Motorola, and others
- Price distribution — showing how many products fall into custom price intervals
- Average star rating by price category
- Key metrics — including total products, total sales volume, average price difference, and average star rating
And more...
Step 4: Final Dashboard
All wrapped into a single, interactive Excel dashboard—designed with clarity, minimalism, and decision-making in mind.
