Step 1: Connect PowerBI to Your Sales Data

The first step in creating a sales dashboard with PowerBI is to connect the tool to your sales data. There are several ways you can do this, including importing data from a file, connecting to a database, or using a web connector to pull data from a website or cloud service. Once you have your data connected, you’re ready to start building your dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New Dashboard

To create a new dashboard in PowerBI, click on the “Dashboards” tab and then click “Create.” This will open a new dashboard canvas where you can start adding visuals.

Step 3: Add Visuals to Your Dashboard

There are several types of visuals you can add to your dashboard, including charts, tables, and maps. To add a visual, click on the “Add Visual” button and select the type of visual you want to use. You can then customize your visual by using the formatting options in the right-hand panel and specifying which data should be displayed in the visual using the “Fields” panel.

Step 4: Apply Filters to Your Dashboard

If you want to filter your data to only show specific time periods or categories, you can use the “Filters” panel to apply these filters to your dashboard. This can be helpful if you want to focus on a particular aspect of your sales data or if you want to compare different time periods or categories.

Step 5: Save Your Dashboard

Once you have added all of the visuals you want and customized them to your liking, you can save your dashboard by clicking the “Save” button. This will allow you to access your dashboard anytime you need it and make updates as needed.
