A lot of business professionals struggle with data. I build data solutions using Power BI and Excel,
so they can have clarity and confidence to make better decisions and grow their business.

Dynamic Project Expense & Budget Variance Dashboard

A dynamic Power BI solution enabling financial tracking and profitability analysis for project-based businesses.

Dynamic Project Expense & Budget Variance Dashboard

The Challenge: Project-based businesses often struggle to track expenses across multiple projects, managers, and cost categories. Relying on static spreadsheets leads to out-of-date information, making it nearly impossible to identify budget overruns before they impact the bottom line.

The Solution: I developed a comprehensive, one-page Power BI dashboard to provide a single source of truth for project financials. The report features advanced interactivity, including dynamic parameters that allow users to instantly change chart dimensions (e.g., "Analyze By" Project or Expense Category) and toggle the metrics displayed in the detailed matrix with a single click.

The Impact: This dashboard replaces hours of manual reporting with an on-demand, holistic view of budget vs. actual spending. It empowers executives and project managers to instantly spot trends, identify areas of overspending, and make proactive, data-driven decisions that protect profitability.

Key Features:

  • ✓ Dynamic KPIs (Total Expenses, Budget, Variance)
  • ✓ Interactive Slicers for Time & Project Hierarchy
  • ✓ Parameter-driven visuals for flexible analysis
  • ✓ Trend analysis and detailed drill-down matrix
