I built this Sample Superstore dashboard during our Power BI training at The Data School. The aim was to create a clear overview of sales performance while practising several useful Power BI techniques.
The dashboard uses DAX time-intelligence calculations to compare month-to-date results with the previous year, alongside year-to-date comparisons and running totals. I also used measure switching to let users move between sales, profit, quantity and orders, and experimented with formatting techniques including KPI sparklines, overlapping comparison bars and direct labels.
It was a useful opportunity to combine some of Power BI’s analytical functionality with a clean, consistent dashboard design.
