The business case

A bicycle company, QuantoBikes, uses a Power BI model in order to keep track of their sales. Based on the data in the fSales table, the board has defined three key performance indicators (KPIs): the sales per month, the year-to-date sales, and the 12-month rolling sales. These KPIs can be analyzed by order date, invoice date, or delivery date, which are also available in the fSales table.
