This project involves comprehensive analysis of the Adventure Sales data set using Power BI. The goal was to extract meaningful insights through various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), time intelligence functions, forecasting, trend analysis, and visualizations. The analysis was performed to provide actionable insights into sales performance, profit margins, and regional performance.
