The work

The problem, the approach and what it delivers.

The challenge: A common scenario: a dealer group reports sales by dealer and region from separate spreadsheets. Managers cannot compare this year with last year, or drill down from a regional total to the sales behind it.
The approach: Build one Power BI model for all dealers, add year to date and month to date measures with change against last year, and create two pages: an executive overview and a detailed sales list, both filtered by body style, dealer, region, transmission and engine. This example uses sample data in US dollars.
Designed to deliver: Designed to give managers total sales, average price and cars sold at a glance, show the weekly trend and the split by colour, body style and company, and let them check any figure against the individual sales.
KPIs in the dashboard: YTD Total Sales, YTD Average Price, YTD Cars Sold, MTD Sales, Change vs Last Year, Weekly Sales Trend, Sales by Colour and Body Style, Cars Sold by Dealer Region
Tools used: Power BI, Power Query, DAX
