Abstract

Superstore Sales Dashboard is an open-source Data Science project. An interactive Microsoft Excel dashboard analyzing the Sample Superstore dataset using Pivot Tables, Pivot Charts, KPIs, Slicers, and business insights to visualize sales, profit, customer, and regional performance. This dashboard transforms raw sales data into meaningful business insights through interactive reports and visualizations. It enables users to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), compare sales across different dimensions, and identify trends for informed decision-making. Key capabilities include: Microsoft Excel; Pivot Tables; Pivot Charts. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Data Science mini project or final-year project.
