This dashboard provides insights into the responses collected from a survey conducted by Alex Freeberg among individuals working in the field of data. All survey participants have roles within the data profession.
The dataset is in 'xlsx' file format. Before creating the dashboard in PowerBI, I conducted thorough data cleaning. This involved various transformations, including the addition of an 'Average Salary' column derived from the 'Current Yearly Salary' data. Additionally, I streamlined the dataset by eliminating unnecessary columns and simplifying responses in fields such as Role, Country of Origin, Favorite Programming Language, and more. This ensures a focused and concise representation of the survey data in the dashboard, facilitating a clearer understanding of key trends and patterns within the responses from individuals in the data profession.
