I need an experienced Power BI specialist who can dive straight into an urgent KPI dashboard build for our Bedford-based business. The model must pull live and historical data from three different sources—Excel files stored in SharePoint, our on-premise SQL databases, and several Online APIs—and blend them into a single, well-structured data model. The core story the dashboard must tell is operational efficiency: utilisation rates, throughput times, downtime causes, cost per unit, and any other DAX measures you know will help management spot bottlenecks quickly. Alongside that operational narrative I also want space for two high-level sales indicators—total revenue and sales growth rate—so leadership can see in one view how internal performance is affecting topline figures. I’ve already secured access credentials and sample files; you’ll connect, transform, and create the visual layer with filters, drill-downs, and bookmarks ready for senior managers to use without training. Clear field naming conventions and a refresh schedule through the on-premises gateway are essential so the whole thing stays self-maintaining after hand-over. Deliverables • Power BI .pbix file with reusable data model and all visuals • Gateway and scheduled-refresh configuration documented in a short hand-off guide (Word or PDF) • Quick Loom or Teams walk-through of the finished report so my team can pick up from you Acceptance criteria • Data from Excel, SQL, and APIs refreshes without errors • All measures match our validation sheets to within 0.5 % • Report loads in under five seconds on the service If you’re available to start immediately and confident with Power Query, DAX, and gateway setup, let’s talk today so we can have the first draft live within the week.

Your utilisation and cost-per-unit figures need consistent definitions across SharePoint Excel, on-premise SQL, and APIs. I'd check those definitions against your validation sheets before building the visuals. I'd use Power Query to align the sources, then build reusable DAX measures for operational KPIs, revenue, and sales growth. API authentication during scheduled refresh needs an early gateway test. I'd validate measures within 0.5% and test service loading against your five-second limit. I can start now with 40+ hours available this week, targeting a live first draft within five days. Handover includes the .pbix with filters, drill-downs, bookmarks, clear field names, a gateway and refresh guide, and a recorded walkthrough. We can set the first milestone as a refreshable model with one validated operational KPI within two days, released only when it works.

Hello!, I am a US-based senior software engineer and I can jump in quickly on your urgent Power BI KPI dashboard build. From your post, the real pain point is not just building a dashboard, but getting clean, reliable KPI visibility fast from Excel, SQL, Access, and possibly APIs, without messy logic or a dashboard that only looks good on the surface. I focus on making the data layer solid first, then the visuals. My approach: 1. Review your data sources, KPI definitions, and refresh needs 2. Build a clean data model with the right relationships and measures 3. Connect and validate Excel, SQL, Access, and API inputs 4. Create a KPI dashboard that is clear, fast, and decision-ready 5. Test refreshes, edge cases, and handoff so it is stable I’ve built data-heavy dashboards and reporting systems where accuracy and usability mattered just as much as speed. I’m detail-focused, so I won’t guess at your KPIs or rush past the logic. Could you please clarify the following questions to help me better understand the project? 1. What are the exact KPIs you want tracked, and do you already have formulas or definitions? 2. Which data source is the master source if values conflict across Excel, SQL, or Access? 3. Do you need a one-time dashboard build, or an ongoing refreshable reporting solution? Relevant work I can discuss in chat: an operations KPI dashboard for a logistics firm, a finance reporting model for a SaaS company, and a sales dashboard connected to SQL and API feeds.

Hello, my name is Juan Pablo. I can jump straight into building your urgent Power BI KPI dashboard, connecting live and historical data from SharePoint Excel files, on‑prem SQL databases, and online APIs into a single, reusable data model. I’m comfortable with complex Power Query transformations, DAX for operational KPIs (utilisation, throughput, downtime, cost per unit) plus revenue and sales‑growth measures, and structuring visuals with filters, drill‑downs, and bookmarks for senior management. I’ll deliver a clean .pbix file, clear field naming, on‑prem gateway + scheduled refresh configuration, and a short hand‑off guide plus Loom/Teams walkthrough. My goal is: error‑free refresh, measures validated within 0.5 %, and a report that loads in under five seconds. I’m available to start immediately and have a first draft ready within the week.

Hi, I can help you get this dashboard built and running within the week. I work extensively with Power BI, Power Query, DAX, SQL and Excel, and I’m comfortable bringing together data from SharePoint files, SQL databases and APIs into one model. I can also handle the gateway and scheduled refresh setup, so you’re not left with something that requires manual updates after delivery. For the dashboard itself, I’d focus on making the operational KPIs genuinely useful for management: utilisation, throughput, downtime causes, cost per unit and the main bottlenecks, with revenue and sales growth included at the executive level. I’ll keep the report clean and fast rather than filling it with unnecessary visuals. I can work against your validation sheets to check the measures, optimise the model for performance, and provide the PBIX, refresh documentation and walkthrough at handover. I’m available to start immediately. If you send over the sample files and a quick overview of the SQL/API structure, I can review them and start with the first draft. Thanks,

I can deliver a reviewable Power BI first draft within seven days, combining your SharePoint-hosted Excel files, on-premises SQL data, and online APIs into one governed model. I’ll use Power Query for ingestion and transformation, define the agreed operational and sales KPIs as documented DAX measures, and build management views for utilisation, throughput, downtime, unit cost, revenue, and growth. The first-draft handoff will include the data model, KPI pages with drill-downs, refresh/gateway configuration, validation against your control totals, and concise maintenance notes. Proposed schedule: days 1–2 for access, source profiling, and KPI definitions; days 3–5 for the model, measures, and report pages; day 6 for validation and fixes; day 7 for the reviewable draft. This assumes working credentials and sample/control data are available on day 1, the API endpoints are documented, and the required Power BI licensing and on-premises gateway host are available. Data-quality remediation, new API development, or licensing procurement would be scoped separately if discovered. My directly relevant experience includes delivering a production dashboard and inventory-management system with reliable measures, drill-downs, and maintainable handover. If you share the source schemas, validation sheets, and current refresh constraints, I can confirm the day-one checklist immediately.

Hi, I am Adeel. I built the analytics side of Boostifai, a SaaS reporting on multi tenant data with SQL Server underneath, so blending several sources into one clean model and surfacing it as clear visuals is familiar territory. For yours I would start by mapping the Excel, SQL and API sources into a single star schema before touching any visuals, since a clean model is what makes the DAX measures and the gateway refresh reliable later. I would validate utilisation, throughput and cost per unit against your sheets early rather than at the end, so the 0.5% check is not a surprise on delivery day. Are the on premise SQL databases reachable now, or does the gateway still need to be installed on your side?

I’ll start by profiling the SharePoint Excel, on-prem SQL and API refresh paths, then design the model around the 0.5% validation tolerance and sub-five-second Power BI Service load target. I can start immediately and have a first draft live within the week. You will receive the reusable .pbix, operational and sales KPI pages with drill-downs/bookmarks, a documented gateway and scheduled-refresh setup, plus a recorded walkthrough in 6 days. I’ll use Power Query staging queries, a star schema with clear field names, incremental-friendly transformations where applicable, and DAX measures for utilisation, throughput, downtime causes, cost per unit, revenue and sales growth. I previously built an Excel HR compliance dashboard by joining four HRIS exports across 172 employees. Is the on-prem SQL Server already reachable through an existing gateway, or does the gateway need installing and configuring? Muhammad Saad

Hi there! The trickiest part here isn't pulling data from three sources—it's keeping your measures consistent across them. Excel and SQL often carry subtle calculation differences, and APIs can drift in format without warning. That 0.5% tolerance you've set is tight, and it's actually the right call because it's where real problems hide. I'd build the validation layer first: create a small reference table from your validation sheets, then anchor all DAX measures against it during development. That way we catch drift immediately rather than discovering it in production. For the data layer itself, I'd consolidate transformations in Power Query before they hit the model, so refresh logic stays in one place and your gateway doesn't become a maintenance headache. The operational story you're telling—bottlenecks, downtime, cost per unit alongside revenue—works best when those measures sit together in one fact table conceptually, even if the source data is spread across three platforms. Quick question: do your validation sheets include historical comparisons, or just current period accuracy? Corné
