Here are some Power BI dashboard ideas based on the Computer Hardware dataset:

1. Performance Analysis Dashboard

• KPI Cards: Display key metrics like average PRP (Published Relative Performance), ERP (Estimated Relative Performance), and average machine cycle time (MYCT).
• Scatter Plot: Show the relationship between PRP and ERP to compare actual vs. estimated performance.

• Bar Chart: Compare PRP across different vendors to identify high-performing brands.
• Heatmap: Correlate memory (MMIN, MMAX) and cache (CACH) with PRP to understand performance impact.

2. Vendor Benchmarking Dashboard

• Vendor Ranking Table: Rank vendors based on average PRP.
• Box Plot: Show the distribution of PRP per vendor.
• TreeMap: Visualize the count of models per vendor to see which vendors dominate the dataset.
• Filter Panel: Allow users to filter data by vendor, model, or memory range.

3. System Configuration vs. Performance Dashboard

• Line Chart: Trend of PRP over different MYCT values to see how cycle time impacts performance.
• Dual-Axis Chart: Compare how PRP varies with MMIN and MMAX.
• Bubble Chart: Show PRP, MYCT, and CACH together to analyze performance trade-offs.

4. Memory & Cache Impact Dashboard

• Histogram: Distribution of MMIN, MMAX, and CACH values.
• Correlation Matrix: Identify relationships between MMIN, MMAX, CACH, PRP, and ERP.
• Slicer: Enable users to filter machines based on memory and cache thresholds.
