The tasks
You will use Power BI tool for data analysis and visualisation exercises provided in this assessment. These tasks will help to build your knowledge of data formats, storage, retrieval, analysis and visualisation techniques of dashboard design.
You are required to work on the given PBIX file on the Moodle site. Download the file into your local machine and work on the file directly.
For each task, use Power BI tool, generate the output by executing the Power BI functions on the given dataset in the PBIX file and save the screenshots of the output. Save all output screenshots and analysis on the generated outputs in an MS Word file. This Word file is required to be submitted as a report for marking. Each task should be numbered correctly for marking. Also, your worked PBIX file is needed to be submitted in a zip format.
The data analysis and visualisation tasks are given as follows:
1. Show and explore the relationships (i.e., Perform Edit and Delete functions) of data and tables with explanation. Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
2. In the AW_Customer_Lookup table, add a new column named “Customer Priority” that equals “Priority” for customers who are under 50 years old and have an annual income of greater than $100,000, and “Standard” otherwise. Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
3. In the AW_Product_Lookup table, add a new column named “Price Point”, based on the following criteria.
• If the product price is greater than $500, Price Point = “High”
• If the product price is between $100 and $500, Price Point = “Mid-Range”
• If the product price is less than or equal to $100, Price Point = “Low”
Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
4. Create a measure named “Product Models” to calculate the number of unique product model names. Provide a screenshot with an explanation. (Hints: You should see a total of 119 returns)
5. Create a measure named “Total Cost”, by multiplying order quantities by product costs at the rowlevel. Provide a screenshot with an explanation. (Hints: You should see a total cost of $14,456,986.32)
6. Once you’ve calculated Total Cost, create a new measure for “Total Profit”, defined as the total revenue minus the total cost. Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
7. Create a Bar chart visualisation for OrderQuantity per country. Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
8. Create a Line chart to show ModelName, ProductCost per Region Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
9. Create a Pie chart of DiscountPrice by ModelName and CategoryName. Provide a screenshot with an explanation.
10. Write a conclusion on your overall analysis and data visualisation.
