🚀 Executive & Product Sales Analytics Dashboard (Power BI)
I recently completed an end-to-end Power BI project designed to deliver an automated reporting and KPI analysis solution for management. The goal was to transform raw sales data into interactive executive and product-level dashboards to drive data-informed decision-making.
💡 Key Project Highlights
1️⃣ Data Cleaning & ETL (Power Query)
- Imported and cleaned raw data across multiple connected datasets: Orders, People, and Returns.
- Handled missing values, formatted data types, and prepared structured tables for modeling.
2️⃣ Data Modeling & Date Intelligence
- Built a robust Data Model establishing star schema relationships between facts and dimensions.
- Created a dedicated Date Table enabling dynamic time-intelligence calculations across Years, Quarters, Months, and Year-Month trends.
3️⃣ Advanced DAX Measures & Metrics
Engineered key business measures to evaluate overall performance and product profitability:
- Total Sales: $2.30M
- Total Profit: $286.40K
- Profit Margin %: 12.47%
- Year-over-Year (YoY) Growth %: 46.88%
- Avg Profit per Product: $154.81
- Total Products: 2K+ unique items
- Running Total & Time Intelligence Measures
4️⃣ Calculated Columns
- Profitability Category: Segmented performance into distinct profitability tiers.
- Shipping Delay: Calculated order-to-shipment duration to monitor operational efficiency.
