Situation: You work as a Sales Manager for Maven Tech, a company that specializes in selling computer hardware to large businesses.

Assignment: They’ve just started using a new CRM system to track their sales opportunities but have no visibility of the data outside of the platform. To combat this, you’ve set out to build an interactive dashboard that enables sales managers like yourself to track their team’s quarterly performance.

Objectives:

Prepare the data for analysis

Explore the data with pivot tables

Build a dynamic dashboard

Skills Used/Learned:

Excel


Objective 1: Prepare the data for analysis

Merged sales_pipeline.csv and sales_teams.csv

Objective 2: Explore the data with pivot tables

Created pivot table showing opportunities won by quarter

Created pivot table showing percentage of opportunities won/lost by quarter

Created pivot table showing opportunities won by quarter for each sales agent. Sorted sales agents in descending order by opportunities won

Reconstructed the first two tables so they have the quarters as columns. Sorted them so the most recent quarter always comes first

Objective 3: Build a Dynamic Dashboard

Visualized percentage of deals won/lost in most recent quarter by using a pie chart

Added bar chart to visualize opportunities won by sales agent for most recent quarter

Added slicers for regional office and manager fields
