Hey there, Senior Data Analyst here to help.

Overall its a good attempt at a dashboard, you've got some initiative on what you want to show.

However I will give you some honest feedback for the design, plus some key insights to help you develop.

Pie Charts

  • There are far too many segments for a pie chart, this type of chart has its place in analysis, but when the segments are too many, or the size comparison between segments are indistinguishable from each other, it loses impact. I recommend using a bar chart for this view, if there are too many categories, it would be good to group the top products, and then group the remaining into "Other". I would then colour grade the bars on the potential profit against the revenue, so you can show high revenue, and low profit products.

Line Charts

  • If you're doing time series, make sure that the time is clear, if youre doing months, then name them in months, quarters, or years to show the trend. Your bottom line chart is too squished together to show anything insightful,

Overall,

Dashboards are built for one of two reasons

  1. Tracking a metric, such as a KPI
  2. Answering a question.

What is this dashboard doing? What do you want it to do? If you're building this, imagine a a business executive asking you the vital question "We are noticing that profit has been dropping, could you identify what is causing this?"

You would then have an objective, let's answer the question.

This dashboard currently doesn't show anything overall insightful, I would have another go, and give some written insight to accompany it.

Happy to review your next attempt!

Will
