Sales Insights & Power BI Dashboard

I have a raw sales and inventory dataset that needs to be transformed into clear, decision-ready information. The priority is to understand overall business performance, with a special focus on products, categories, and inventory status. Once the data is cleaned and structured, I want to explore it from multiple angles in Excel and SQL, then surface the key findings in an interactive Power BI dashboard.

Key objectives
• Pinpoint low-stock or out-of-stock items so replenishment decisions are obvious.
• Highlight slow-moving or unsold products to guide promotions or phase-outs.
• Reveal patterns in category and product performance that inform buying and merchandising strategies.

What I’ll provide
– The raw sales and inventory files.
– Any lookup tables or business rules you need for accurate joins and calculations.

What I need from you
• Meticulous data cleaning and formatting.
• Reusable SQL queries that generate the core reporting tables.
• Exploratory analysis in Excel that validates assumptions and spots anomalies.
• A polished, filter-ready Power BI report with clear visuals, bookmarks, and drill-through where it adds value.

Delivery expectations
Accuracy, clear documentation, and open communication are critical. I’d like regular checkpoints (data cleaning, first SQL run, draft dashboard) so we stay aligned and hit the agreed timeline. If you’re comfortable driving insights as well as building the dashboard, even better—your recommendations will be welcome.
