Benefits of implementing Power BI Dashboards for your Business

On its own, data is just numbers – it’s up to the report creator to decide what to do with it.

There are many decisions you must make when you’re creating your Power BI dashboard, such as what visuals to include, which colors to use, and how to lay it all out in a single view. All these factors are important to ensure a top-notch user experience.

Imagine you run an apparel business and sell clothes on your website globally, and receive thousands of queries and sales each day from customers. In addition, you’re also running marketing campaigns to improve your sales.
Now, how will you answer the following questions:
  • What is the top-selling product?
  • What is the total number of customers that you have acquired in a particular week?
  • What is the net profit for a particular month?
  • What is the performance of your marketing campaign in a specific region?
  • What is the total revenue generated for a particular month?
  • From which region are the majority of purchases being made by customers?
To answer these questions, manually checking data for a large number of customers would not only be time-consuming but also prone to errors.

This is where Power BI can come in handy, allowing for quick and accurate analysis of large datasets to extract valuable insights and answer these types of questions efficiently.
