About webinar
In this workshop, we’ll work through the Procurement Data Analytics Challenge dataset together and build a report from scratch in Power BI.
The data covers purchase orders from 2022 to 2024, including suppliers, contracts, deliveries, and payments. It’s the kind of dataset where things don’t always line up neatly: budgets get exceeded, deliveries are late, and not every purchase follows the preferred process.
We’ll look at how to structure this data and turn it into something people can actually use. That includes:
- tracking how spend changes over time
- comparing actual spend with budget
- looking at which suppliers account for most of the spend
- checking delivery performance and lead times
- spotting off-contract (maverick) spend
We’ll also show how to build simple interactions into the report so users can explore the data on their own, for example, drilling from a high-level view into specific suppliers or categories using ZoomCharts visuals.
This session is aimed at anyone taking part in the challenge, but it’s also useful if you just want to get more comfortable working with messy, real-world business data in Power BI.
