The problem
KPI reporting lived in disconnected spreadsheets maintained by different teams. Numbers disagreed between decks, definitions drifted, and preparing the monthly review consumed days of analyst time.
The approach
- Designed a star-schema data model with conformed dimensions so every dashboard answers from the same facts.
- Encoded KPI definitions once as documented DAX measures — no more per-report reinterpretation of “on-time” or “utilization”.
- Built role-focused report pages: an executive overview, drill-down operational views, and exception pages that surface what needs attention today.
- Automated refresh from source systems via Power Query, removing the manual export-import cycle entirely.
The outcome
- One agreed set of numbers across teams — arguments moved from “whose figure is right” to “what do we do about it”.
- Monthly reporting preparation went from days to zero: the dashboards are always current.
- The exception views caught issues weeks earlier than the old monthly cadence.
