Analytics and Dashboarding Questions

Designing, building, and enabling dashboards and spreadsheet based analysis to turn data into actionable insights for different stakeholder audiences. Candidates should be able to define and prioritize key performance indicators and metrics for roles such as sales, marketing, finance, and executives; apply dashboard design principles that present complex data clearly; and enable self service analytics through reusable data models, standardized metrics, documentation, and user training. Practical spreadsheet skills are included: advanced formulas, pivot tables, lookup functions, data cleaning, filtering, charting, sensitivity and what if analysis, and performance optimization. Candidates should also speak to tools and platforms used such as Excel, Google Sheets, business intelligence platforms, visualization tools, and analytics platforms; consider refresh cadence, data validation and governance, interactivity and drill down patterns, and trade offs between standardized reporting and bespoke custom views.
