2024 Week 4 | Sigma: Can you recreate this KPI Chart?

Introduction

Welcome to Week Four! This week, we’re going to create a single element that shows multiple pieces for analysis.

This challenge is easier than last week, and is meant to show how quickly Sigma can perform period over period analysis on any KPI.

Good Luck!

Requirements

Add a data element from PLUGS_ELECTRONICS_HANDS_ON_LAB_DATA
- Sigma Sample Database > Retail > Plugs_Electronics
- Note that ‘Profit’ and ‘Revenue’ are hiding in the ‘Metrics’ tab.
Hidden Data Tab
In a single visualization element:
- Show the Profit Value
- Add Sales Month to the Timeline to show a trend over time and filter to only show the last 12 months
- Perform a Period over Period analysis with a Comparison to the Previous Month
- Create a Custom Tooltip to show the Profit Margin, which is defined as Profit divided by Revenue
- Add a Reference Mark to show the Average Profit over the entire period
Formatting Requirements:
- Profit should be formatted as a whole dollar amount
- Sales Month should be formatted as Month Year.
- Profit Margin should be formatted as a percentage with 2 decimal places.
- Trend:
  - Shaped as an Area
  - Color to any green you like
  - Show the ToolTip and Timeline axis
- Reference Mark:
  - Change the label to “Avg”
  - Show the Value
  - Position the value in the Top Left
- Show the Comparison to the Right of the main value
- Size your visualization appropriately
Optional: Convert the internal Sales Month filter to a Page Control for user interaction

Analysis to consider:

Which month had the largest percent difference when compared to the previous month?
How many months generated an above average Profit for this period?
Did the month with the greatest Profit also have the greatest Profit Margin?
