E-commerce Sales Analysis

Objective

To identify trends and patterns in sales, KPIs, and customer behaviour across products and regions of an e-commerce website.

Dataset Summary

The data includes orders across months and states, covering product categories, payment modes, order statuses, and order counts. It provides insights into purchasing trends and customer behaviour across regions.

Process

Data was analysed in Excel using pivot charts to build an order-contribution dashboard. A second dynamic KPI dashboard was built without pivot tables using SUMIFS formulas, enabling fully flexible filtering.
