A common mistake in reporting is showing everything. More charts don't always mean more insight.
Sometimes a single KPI supported by the right visual tells a stronger story than an entire dashboard full of charts. #PressingData#DataAnalytics#DataVisualization#PowerBI#Excel
This picture makes data analysis look easy 😂. What it doesn't show are the hours spent cleaning data, fixing errors,switching between tools & questioning your life choices when something breaks. But that's (CONT⬇️) #PressingData#DataAnalytics#PowerBI#Excel#BuildingInPublic
about reviewing records and asking:
Who do they fund?
Where do they focus?
Do their actions match their mission?
Those questions helped separate real opportunities from good looking records. Data doesn't always provide answers. Sometimes it helps you ask better questions.
People 👀 the dashboard. They don’t see the hours spent cleaning data, fixing errors,testing formulas, building measures & figuring out why something isn’t working.

One thing i appreciate more as i build dashboards isthe KPI card. Before it,you’re scrolling through rows, tables & pivot reports looking for answers. After it,no digging through tables. No scrolling through hundreds of rows. (CONT⬇️) #PressingData#DataAnalytics#PowerBI#Excel
Just KPI’s telling you exactly where the business stands. Total Revenue. Total Orders. Profit. Growth. The best dashboards don’t just show data. They show what matters first.

Funny thing about Data Analytics.
You can spend 3hours building a dashboard then spend another 2hours moving charts around by a few pixels because"something doesn't feel right"😂
The data is correct.
The visuals work.
But your (CONT⬇️)#PressingData#DataAnalytics#PowerBI#Excel
is the skeleton of the dashboard. I prefer building slowly and intentionally because the quality of the final insight is usually decided long before the dashboard is finished.

This past week was a mix of data cleaning, XLOOKUP systems, Power BI modeling, dashboard building and a lot of problem solving behind the scenes. One thing I'm learning is that (CONT⬇️) #PressingData#DataAnalytics#Excel#PowerBI#BuildingInPublic#Datafam

progress rarely shows up as one big breakthrough. Most times it's just stacking small wins until they become impossible to ignore. Back at it tomorrow.
