project write-up

Overview

Designed a Star Schema data warehouse using the Northwind Dataset to enable scalable sales reporting across multiple dimensions — Time, Product, and Customer. This project demonstrates end-to-end BI development from data modelling to dashboard delivery.

Data Modelling

Built a star schema with a central fact table (sales transactions) surrounded by dimension tables for Time, Product, Customer, and Region. This structure enables fast aggregation queries and flexible slicing across any dimension combination.

Analysis & Findings
  • Analyzed over 51,000 transaction records to surface key business insights:
  • Top-performing product identified, contributing $149K+ in total revenue
  • April confirmed as the peak revenue month, informing seasonal inventory planning
  • Regional and product-level breakdowns enabled cross-dimensional performance comparison
Dashboard
  • Built an interactive Power BI dashboard featuring:
  • Revenue trend line chart by month (seasonal analysis)
  • Product performance bar chart (top 10 by revenue)
  • Customer segmentation by order frequency
  • Dynamic slicers for time period, region, and product category
Key Outcomes
  • Star schema modelling across 3 dimensions (Time, Product, Customer)
  • 51,000+ transaction records processed
  • $149K+ top-product revenue identified
  • Seasonal inventory planning insight delivered
  • Interactive Power BI dashboard with 4 report pages
