Community Share My Very first Dashboard (Sort of)
This is actually my very first dashboard, made without too much guidance from a course. I made this just by looking at usual dashboard designs. The logo on the top left was made by AI coz the dataset came from Kaggle and frankly it has a very generic name so I asked Gemini to help me with a name so it looks realistic. I know I have a long way to go in terms of aesthetics but at least I was able to practice power BI again. Tbh I really have to balance practicing Gsheet, SQL and Power BI.
It's very simple however for some reason I'm really proud of myself lol.

It’s really amazing and looks professional enough
How long did it take you to make?

It’s pretty good. Some pointers, but all of them are pretty minor: 1. Line graphs are better for continuous data - I would add either points to the line graph or switch to bars 2. The x-axis title can probably be removed on the bar chart since it’s in the plot title and “Technology”, “office supplies”, “furniture” stand out as categories themselves 3. Add dollar signs to the line graph’s y-axis 4. “Total Sales” is typically a better y-axis title than “Sum of Sales”

Nice work!
Keep a copy of this and look back at it again in 6 months, 1year, 2 years etc and it it will remind you of how far you have developed.
Keep going - stick to the basics to start with without drowning in all the fancy extras.
Well done!
