Overview

A dashboard is a collection of charts and analyses. Executive dashboards play a significant role in business intelligence. They provide vital information at a glance and a deeper understanding of an organization’s current situation. Dashboards are used as a point in time, a high-level view of a business or organization.

In this scenario, you will continue to work as a consultant trainee with the TC Ice Cream management team. The team has requested that you create a dashboard so leadership can effectively and efficiently have key insights about their sales revenue. Remember that TC Ice Cream is interested in whether specific trends are identified that can help grow its business through improved operations and sales. You are required to identify three key charts and a regression for presenting your analysis. The dashboard should depict clear insights from your analysis and findings.

Prompt

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Identify key charts for the dashboard.
   • Use your completed worksheets in the TC Ice Cream Excel Workbook to complete this step.
   • Identify three charts that you created in previous modules to include in your dashboard.
2. Create key slicers for the dashboard. 
   • Use the “Dashboard” sheet to create the dashboard.
   • You should have three slicers for the dashboard that interact with the three charts on the dashboard sheet.
   • The slicers will enable the dashboard user to filter (slice) the data by date and flavor.
3. Identify a key regression for the dashboard.
   • Use your completed worksheets in the TC Ice Cream Excel Workbook to complete this step.
   • Identify one regression that you created in previous modules to include in your dashboard.
4. Create a table that summarizes the regression models created in previous modules.
   • The table should show your dependent variable, independent variable(s), the linear regression formula, p values for the independent variable, and R2.
   • The table should consist of all five regression models created.
   • You do not need to paste the entire output of the regression models.
5. Create a dashboard that includes the following:
   • Three key charts identified from previous modules
   • One table that summarizes the identified regression from previous modules
   • Slicers that interact with the three key charts on the dashboard sheet
   • A header and title
6. Create a PowerPoint Presentation to explain why you chose the identified charts and regression, including key visualizations and analysis to support your answers.
   • Using the three charts you created in the dashboard, along with the slicers, display the charts summarizing your specific division and flavors you have used throughout the modules.
   • Display the regression table and provide a high-level analysis. Which of the regression models have a greater impact on the quantity sold variable for the division and flavors used throughout the modules?
