🎯 *Power BI Real-World Project Blueprint*
If you're serious about mastering Power BI or want to create content that stands out, start building *end-to-end project case studies*. Here's how to structure one:
📌 *Use Case Domains:*
• Sales – Regional performance, top products
• HR – Employee attrition, hiring trends
• Healthcare – Patient wait times, treatment outcomes
• E-commerce – Cart abandonment, revenue by source
• Finance – Budget vs actual, cash flow analysis
• Supply Chain – Inventory turnover, vendor performance
📦 *Data Source:*
• Start with Excel or CSV (easy to find sample datasets)
• Move to SQL Server, SharePoint, or APIs for depth
🧹 *ETL – Power Query:*
• Remove nulls, fix data types
• Merge, append, unpivot data
• Create calculated columns or flags (e.g., “Is High Risk?”)
🔗 *Data Modeling:*
• Use Star Schema: Fact & Dimension tables
• Create proper relationships
• Use surrogate keys if needed
📊 *Visual Reports:*
• KPI Cards (Sales, Profit, Retention)
• Drill-down bar/line charts
• Filters, slicers (e.g., Region, Product)
• Tooltip reports for detail on hover
☁️ *Deployment & Access:*
• Publish to Power BI Service
• Set up Scheduled Refresh + Gateway
• Apply Row-Level Security (RLS) for secure data access
💡 *Pro Tip:* Create a Power BI portfolio with 2–3 such projects. Recruiters love real dashboards.
