πŸ“Š Northwind Sales Analysis (Power BI + SQL)

πŸ“Œ Project Overview

This project presents a sales analysis based on the classic Northwind database.

  • Which countries generate the highest number of orders?
  • Who are the most profitable customers?
  • Which employees handle the highest number of orders?
  • What products are ordered most frequently?

πŸ“ˆ Key Insights

  • Germany and USA generated the highest number of orders, with identical share in total order volume.
  • Total Sales Value: 1,265,793 PLN
  • Total Orders: 830

πŸ“Š Dashboard Features
