Hands-on dashboard tutorials
This week’s practical guides walked through building Power BI marketing dashboards—data loading, slicers, bar charts and trend visuals—and an AI-driven competitor-research workflow for rapid insight synthesis and decks. The combo gives a replicable template for analytics+creative teams to build campaign and brand dashboards. (x.com) (x.com)
Microsoft’s Power BI documentation hosts a downloadable "Competitive Marketing Analysis" sample (PBIX and Excel) created with anonymized data by obviEnce that includes market‑share, channel KPIs and campaign-level visuals suitable for marketing dashboard templates. (github.com) A separate Power BI "Sales and Marketing" sample tour and PBIX package from Microsoft provides ready-made tables and report pages for funnel metrics, conversions and trend visuals that mirror the data‑loading and slicer techniques shown in the week’s tutorial set. (learn.microsoft.com) Commercial aggregators and vendors have published collections that map common marketing dashboard patterns to reusable templates—Supermetrics lists 14 marketing dashboard examples and Coupler.io curates 32 Power BI templates marketers reuse for paid, SEO and social reporting. (supermetrics.com) An end‑to‑end AI competitor‑research workflow combining web scraping with LLM synthesis is publicly documented by n8n as a GPT‑4 + Apify recipe that automates competitor data collection, summarization, and output formatting for reports. (n8n.io) Practical writeups and vendor posts show common automation outputs from AI workflows include ranked competitor feature lists, messaging matrices, and slide‑ready summaries that teams convert into deck slides using templates—examples appear in TaskFoundry’s guide and Anly’s AI competitor‑research playbook. (taskfoundry.com) Open repositories and tutorial projects offer downloadable Power BI campaign dashboards and sample datasets (e.g., a GitHub marketing campaign PBIX project) that can be combined with automated competitor intelligence exports to create portfolio-ready case studies demonstrating analytics+creative handoffs.
