Dashboards are great at showing what is happening, but they often hide the real story behind the numbers. A simple sales or inventory report may suggest an upward trend, only for reality to prove that the data was misleading. In this session, we’ll expose the traps of relying on averages, totals, and basic charts that can lead to poor business decisions. Using Power BI, we'll walk through a real example of how a standard report misleads, and then progressively apply statistical techniques like moving averages, seasonality analysis, anomaly detection, correlation to uncover insights that were invisible at first glance. You’ll leave with practical methods you can apply immediately to make your dashboards smarter, your analysis deeper, and your decisions more reliable.
