The Fashion Rentals Dashboard in Power BI turns 500 sample rental records into 5 interactive report pages, 25 KPI cards and 15 charts and tables. It covers rental revenue, net profit, collection mix, on-time returns, damage and customer demand across four rental channels. Open the .pbix in Power BI Desktop and every visual is already wired to the sample data.
📊 Built for clothing and accessory rental businesses that already record each rental in a spreadsheet and want one report for revenue, returns and customers instead of a stack of pivot tables.

🔑 Key Features of the Fashion Rentals Dashboard in Power BI
📄 Five analysis pages plus hidden helpers. Overview, Rental Trends, Collection Mix, Returns & Care and Customer Insights, joined by a left navigation rail. A hidden Details drillthrough page and two tooltip pages (Trend Detail and Metric Detail) sit behind the visuals.
🎛️ Synced slicers on every page. Date Range, Region, Category and Rental Channel are synced across all five analysis pages, so a filter set on Overview follows you everywhere. Each page adds one extra slicer: Brand Tier, Customer Type, Occasion or Rental Status.
📈 25 KPI cards with month-on-month change. Every card shows the current value, the change against the previous month and a 12-month sparkline. The header reads “Data through Dec 2025 | MoM vs Nov 2025” for the sample file.
👗 Six rental categories tracked. Gowns, Ethnic Wear, Suits, Party Wear, Handbags and Accessories, split further by Brand Tier (Standard, Premium, Luxury) and Occasion (Wedding, Party, Festival, Corporate, Photoshoot).
🔁 Returns and damage in one place. On-Time Returns, Late Returns and Damage Rate sit beside a Category Care Scorecard that lists rentals, damage rate and total operating cost for each category.
📱 Channel and region comparison. Website, Mobile App, Boutique and Pop-Up Event are compared on rentals, revenue and net margin, and five regions on revenue and average revenue per rental.

💼 Real-World Use Cases
Meera runs a bridal and ethnic wear rental studio. She filters the Collection Mix page to the Wedding occasion to see which categories earn the most, then checks the Returns & Care scorecard before buying more gowns.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What software do I need?
You need Power BI Desktop, a free Microsoft download that runs on Windows. Mac users need a Windows virtual machine or a Windows PC. Sharing the report with colleagues through the Power BI Service needs a Power BI licence from Microsoft.
Can I use my own rental data?
Yes. Replace the rows in Data.xlsx with your own rentals while keeping the column headers, such as Rental Date, Category, Rental Channel, Rental Fee and Rental Status. Then refresh the report in Power BI Desktop and every page updates.
Is this a booking or rental management system?
No. The Fashion Rentals Dashboard in Power BI is a reporting template. It analyses rentals you have already recorded. It does not take bookings, hold stock, process payments or refund deposits.

Is there an Excel edition?
An Excel edition of this dashboard is in preparation. This listing is the Power BI version, built as a separate .pbix report.
