Building Engaging and Insightful Sales Dashboards with Power BI

Power BI Sales Dashboards That Tell A Story

An enormous amount of effort goes in to gathering data from different parts of the business, cleansing and transforming it before integrating it into a single, central one-truth repository for all to use. The final part of the your business data journey is bringing your data to life with well designed and intereactive dashboards.

What makes a dashboard different to a report? 

A report takes you on a data journey that is mapped out and planned by the report author to bring to a fixed and predefined data story. You know the question you are trying to answer before you start.

A dashboard enables you to plan your own data journey, to set your own destinations and to take a different route through your data every time. With a well designed dashboard you can ask different questions of your data (often thinking of new questions along the way), and unlock stories that give powerful insight into your business processes, performance and trends.
