Define the sales record before automating its report
Sales exports may contain orders, lines, invoices or payments, and those are not interchangeable measures. A Power Query workshop should state what one record represents and which date drives the report before combining files.
An illustrative practice exercise
Illustrative exercise: prepare fictional invoice lines with invoice ID, line ID, date, product and amount, then match an approved product grouping. Include a cancelled line and an unmatched product to make the scope explicit.
- Review the grain and keys.
- build the preparation and mapping steps.
- retain a traceable exception list before reporting..
Check the result
Reconcile the amount with the source at the same status and date boundaries. Counting rows should not be labelled as counting customers or orders without a matching definition.
Confirm the right training scope
Use Expert Data Management as the public pathway and bring the reporting question, source format and update frequency to a team enquiry.
