You have been given a Clean Customer Sales Data Set that is a representative sample of the sales at your customers’ restaurants for 2015 and 2016. This also contains household income data for the restaurant zip codes.
You must analyze this data to help inform marketing decisions. To begin, you must analyze and visualize the given data. You will use Power BI to complete these tasks and understand the relationships and patterns within the data set.
In Module One, you identified some stakeholder requirements and performed data wrangling to clean, transform, and merge the two data sets. In this assignment, you will begin your data analysis by employing visualization techniques on the given data. The resulting visual representations of the data will illustrate the trends and patterns within the data and help organizations forecast and plan better.
