THE BRIEF
You are an analyst working at a major retailer.
The sales director has approached you and asked for you to prepare a report that he can take to the executives regarding sales performance and to make sure it looks good. Unfortunately, he is unavailable for any further conversations about what he wants in the report!!
SUBMISSION DUE DATE - Sunday, 14th June 2020 (PST)
This request is for an executive report so make sure the report you create is for the desired audience.
User experience and interface is very important.
What are the key metrics???
A few ideas to get you started-Top 5 products…Worst Performing stores…performance to date…
Any questions don’t hesitate to shout.
Remember to submit:
place an image of your report and a link to the published report (can use the publish to web feature).
Submit your PBIX file with the following naming convention ‘Challenge Name-Your Name’ to the Enterprise DNA email info@enterprisedna.co with the Subject of Power BI Challenge.
I had similar issue so I closed out of excel and all applications then downloaded the file from Google drive as a .xlsx ( I am on Excel 2010) may also depend on what Excel version you are running. It downloaded fine but opened up in Protected View and All I did was click the yellow Edit button up top to get out of Protected Mode.
Try this and let me know if you have any questions
These challenges are based on scenarios which mimic what we are likely to face in industry.
We are starting with something which is an integral skill in the life of a Power BI developer/analyst.
Which is taking data and turning it into actionable information that the business can use to make decisions (this is what BI is supposed to do!).
After the submission date we will hopefully share some great tips and methods and on how to tackle such a scenario and the thought process of one of the consultants on our team as to how they would tackle the problem statement.
This is a great way for all parties to share their best practices hopefully inspiring some of the best analysts around.
Hi. The submission due date is noted as June 14: I’m guessing this means 2020-06-14 11:59 PM, but UTC or New Zealand time? Can you please confirm the UTC date/time? Thanks, Greg
