Pharmacy Dashboard in Power BI
🔑 Key Features of the Pharmacy Dashboard in Power BI
📊 4 financial KPI cards – Total Sales, Gross Profit, Total Cost, and Total Insurance Amount displayed at the top of the Overview page, letting pharmacy owners and regional managers read the state of the business in under 5 seconds.
📈 14+ pre-built charts across 5 pages – covering profit margin, store location sales, drug category profitability, supplier cost, expiry risk, patient gender and status mix, and insurance coverage ratio by drug category.
🔎 Multi-level slicers on every page – filter by store location, drug category, prescription type, department, supplier, gender, and status to drill into any segment without writing a single DAX measure yourself.
🎨 Modern Power BI design – consistent color palette, rounded cards, and a left-side navigation bar that mirrors best practices used by paid pharmacy BI vendors like IQVIA and PharmaGuide — without the 5-figure annual fee.
💾 Works with any data source – CSV exports from your POS, SQL Server, Excel files, or direct query from Azure SQL. Replace the sample data model and every visual updates automatically.
🆓 Runs on free Power BI Desktop – no Pro license required to open, edit, and customize. Only needed when you want to publish and share online via Power BI Service.
📦 What’s Inside the Pharmacy Dashboard in Power BI
The template ships as a single .pbix file containing 5 interactive report pages, a sample pharmacy dataset, and all relationships and DAX measures pre-configured.
Page 1 — Overview: KPI cards for Total Sales, Gross Profit, Total Cost, Total Insurance Amount. Visuals: Profit Margin card, Total Sales by Store Location, Total Sales and Total Cost by Drug Category (combined view), Total Sales by Drug Name. Page-level slicers apply filters across every other page when cross-filter is enabled.
Sales Analysis
Page 2 — Sales Analysis: Gross Profit by Prescription Type reveals which script categories (OTC, Prescription, Compounded) carry the highest margin. Total Sales and Total Cost by Supplier benchmarks vendor performance side-by-side. Total Qty Dispensed by Month Name exposes seasonality — useful for stock planning and staff scheduling.
Inventory & Supply
Page 3 — Inventory & Supply: Total Sales by Expiry Risk flags revenue tied up in near-expiry stock — the single biggest source of pharmacy shrinkage. Total Sales and Total Cost by Department shows which lines (Rx, OTC, Wellness, Medical Devices) drive the most volume. Total Qty Dispensed by Store Location benchmarks outlets against each other.
Patient Insights
Page 4 — Patient Insights: Total Sales by Gender and Total Sales by Status (new, returning, loyalty) reveal the customer mix driving revenue. Insurance Coverage Ratio by Drug Category shows which therapeutic areas are most subsidized — critical for forecasting co-pay collections and negotiating PBM contracts.
Performance Review
Page 5 — Performance Review: Total Patient Payment by Store Location isolates out-of-pocket revenue by outlet. Profit Margin by Drug Category highlights your most profitable therapeutic lines. Total Insurance Amount by Department aids reconciliation with PBMs and insurers at month-end close.
