Objective
Design an Excel dashboard to help store management:
● Monitor inventory levels.
● Track missing items by day, time of day, and responsible staff.
● Visually summarize data for fast insights and better decision-making.
Requirements
1. Missing Item Analysis
○ Track total missing items per day.
○ Track missing items by time of day.
○ Track missing items by staff.
○ Item-Level Analysis:
■ Calculate total missing quantities for each item.
■ Identify the top two items with the highest missing quantities.
2. Dashboard Elements
○ KPIs Summary Section: Display key performance indicators (KPIs) such as:
■ Total Missing Items: Sum of all missing quantities in the dataset.
■ Highest Missing Quantity per Day: Identify the day with the most
missing items.
■ Top Missing Item: Item with the highest missing quantity.
■ Staff Member with Most Missing Items: Staff member responsible for
the most missing items.
■ Top 2 Items & Shifts with Missing Quantities:
■ List the top two items with the highest missing counts.
■ Identify time shifts (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) with the highest
missing quantities.
■ Missing Patterns by Day of the Week: Show missing items by weekday
for trend analysis.
3. Interactive Filtering & Slicers
○ Slicers: Add slicers for dynamic data filtering by:
■ Date
■ Time of Day
■ Responsible Staff
■ Item Category (if available in the dataset)
○ Dynamic Filtering: Ensure the dashboard refreshes dynamically when filtered
by any slicer for focused analysis.
4. Data Visualization
○ Missing Items Trend: Line or bar chart showing missing item trends over time.
○ Missing Items by Time of Day
○ Missing Items by Staff
○ Top Missing Items: Visualize items with the highest missing quantities.
Expected Deliverables
● An Excel file with the completed dashboard and data.
● A summary report (included in a separate worksheet or as comments on the dashboard)
that outlines key findings and recommendations.
