E-commerce analysis in Tableau: A Practical Case Study for Data Analysts

Step 1: Data Exploration

We will build a dataset in the first phase to analyze sales and costs. You will learn to:

  • Analyze e-commerce data in Tableau: import and explore sales data to gain meaningful insights.
  • Build a product sales data source: merge multiple files to create a complete, integrated view.
  • Data Cleaning: eliminate invalid or inconsistent data to ensure the reliability of the analysis.
  • Create calculated metrics for customers and orders: develop critical measures to evaluate business performance.
  • Market Basket Analysis: identify products often purchased together for cross-selling strategies.

Step 2: Data Analysis

At this stage, we will focus on developing advanced metrics:

  • Analysis of the most profitable products and customers: Identify key profit areas and the most valuable customers.
  • Mapping sales by state: uses geographic visualizations to identify regional trends.
  • Explore shipping cost metrics: Understand the impact of logistics costs on profit margins.
  • What-If Analysis: simulate alternative scenarios to assess the effect on shipping costs and optimize costs.

Step 3: Presentation

In the last stage, we will turn our analysis into an effective presentation:

  • Create interactive dashboards: display data in easily understandable and interactive formats.
  • Emphasize KPIs (Key Performance Indicators): highlight key metrics with intuitive visualizations.
  • Executive summary: Prepare summary reports to inform management about business performance.
  • Dashboard on growth opportunities and shipping costs: focus on specific areas for operational and logistical improvements.
