Data Analyst Portfolio · Power BI Focus

From raw data to decision-ready dashboards.

I'm Elta Dessyembra, an education and operations professional developing practical data analytics capability with Power BI, Power Query, DAX, Excel, data modelling and business analysis.

Available for Data Analyst opportunities

Portfolio case studies use synthetic data for demonstration. They are designed to show the analytical workflow and reporting approach.

Selected work

Power BI case studies

Three end-to-end portfolio projects showing how I approach raw business data: prepare it, model it, create measures, build an interactive report and turn the results into business insights.

Project 01

Sales Performance Dashboard

Business question: How are revenue and profitability performing across products, customers, regions and time?

Data workflow

  • Imported synthetic Excel tables for customers, products, orders and dates.
  • Cleaned and standardized fields in Power Query.
  • Designed a star-schema model around the sales fact table.
  • Created DAX measures for Revenue, Profit, Margin, Orders and YoY Growth.

Example DAX

Total Revenue = SUM(Sales[Revenue])
Total Profit = SUM(Sales[Profit])
Profit Margin = DIVIDE([Total Profit],[Total Revenue])

Key insight

Use product, region and time filters to isolate where revenue growth is coming from and where profitability is under pressure.

Revenue$1.28M
Profit$286K
Margin22.3%
Orders8,420

Decision cue: use filters to identify the strongest and weakest segments.

Project 02

Education & Examination Analytics

Business question: Which factors and locations are associated with stronger examination outcomes?

Data workflow

  • Combined candidate, centre, subject, attendance and result tables.
  • Standardized examination sessions and categorical values.
  • Built performance KPIs and drill-down analysis by centre and subject.
  • Designed visuals for pass rate, score trends and attendance.

Example DAX

Pass Rate = DIVIDE([Passed Candidates],[Total Candidates])
Average Score = AVERAGE(Results[Score])

Key insight

Identify centres or subjects with unusual changes in pass rate, then investigate the operational context rather than reporting the number alone.

Examination PerformancePower BI concept
Candidates12,480
Pass Rate84.6%
Avg Score6.8
Attendance91%

Project 03

Service Operations Dashboard

Business question: Where are capacity and service delivery performing well, and where are bottlenecks appearing?

Data workflow

  • Structured service, employee, customer and appointment data.
  • Created measures for utilization, completion and cancellation rates.
  • Compared performance by service, employee and period.
  • Used KPI cards and trend visuals to support management review.

Example DAX

Completion Rate = DIVIDE([Completed Services],[Total Services])
Utilization = DIVIDE([Billable Hours],[Available Hours])

Business outcome

The dashboard is designed to help managers identify capacity gaps, recurring cancellations and service-quality patterns.

Operations OverviewPower BI concept
Services6,240
Completion93.1%
Utilization81%

How I turn data into a report

A recruiter can see the full workflow behind each dashboard — not just the final visual. The same approach can be applied to a company's own Excel or other structured business data.

01 · Raw dataStart with source tables and clarify the business question, KPIs and reporting audience.
02 · Power QueryClean, reshape, standardize and prepare the data for reliable analysis.
03 · Data modelBuild relationships between fact and dimension tables for consistent reporting.
04 · DAXCreate reusable measures for revenue, rates, margins, trends and performance.
05 · DashboardDesign KPI cards, charts, filters and drill-down views around decisions.
06 · InsightsExplain what changed, why it matters and what a manager could do next.
