Power BI Netflix Dashboard

About the Data

📊

Project Goal

My objective here is to utilise most Power BI features which I had learned using different online courses. I am curious about curating data and analysis. Such mini projects (self-made) allow me to think and progress. As part of my job I do regular data analysis and visualization, however I felt this isn't enough to showcase my talent. Hence I utilised an open-source platform to collect raw data to analyse and build a dashboard.

This dashboard is built around four core questions:

What is the data about? How can it be categorised? Are there dependencies within categories? What is the outcome?

Results

This dashboard provides a comprehensive analysis of a Netflix dataset, covering key metrics and trends related to shows and movies. The design is clean, with a dark theme and prominent visuals that make the data easy to interpret.

Key Performance Indicators

The top row of the dashboard presents high-level summary statistics, providing an immediate overview of the entire dataset.
