What’s Inside the DIY Craft Marketplaces Dashboard in Power BI
1. Overview Page
The Overview Page provides a high-level view of the craft marketplace business. Cards show Total Orders, Total Revenue, Total Cost, Return Rate, and Net Profit so leaders can review sales scale, expense pressure, returns, and profitability before drilling into the other pages.
Profit Margin by Dashboard Filters: This visual responds to slicer selections and shows how profitability changes across the selected marketplace, region, category, or order segment. It is useful for quickly spotting filtered views where margin needs attention.
Total Revenue by Marketplace: This chart compares revenue contribution by sales channel. It helps sellers see whether Etsy-style shops, independent storefronts, or other marketplaces are carrying the business.
Total Revenue and Net Profit by Month Name: This trend compares sales value against profit by month. Use it to see whether revenue growth is turning into actual earnings after cost, fees, and returns.
Net Profit by Product Category: This chart ranks categories by profitability. It supports product mix, pricing, and promotion decisions for handmade goods.
