In this first chapter, you’ll build a dataset for sales and expense analysis. You’ll combine multiple files, filter out invalid data, and create metrics for customers and orders. Using a self-join on sales data, learn to create a correlation matrix.
Use the correlation matrix to determine products that are frequently bought together.

Next, you’ll create metrics for the most profitable products and customers. You’ll standardize location names and build a map of sales by state, before exploring the shipping cost metrics. Finally, you’ll build a what-if analysis to display the impact of shipping higher quantities on shipping costs.

Are you ready to apply your Tableau skills to solve practical business problems? For ecommerce businesses, increasing sales and reducing expenses are top priorities. In this Tableau case study, you'll investigate a dataset from a fictitious online pet supply company called Munchy's.
You analyze the sales dataset and find out which products are frequently bought together and in what quantity. You will then make upsell and cross-sell recommendations by building a market basket analysis. Shipping costs remain a big expense for online retailers. You will consider strategies such as shipping more of the same product to reduce per-unit costs. You will understand where the customers are and what they buy, and you will make recommendations to the management for a new warehouse location.
 You'll answer these questions by creating calculated fields and various visualizations in Tableau, such as dual-axis graphs, highlight tables, and maps. You'll use filters and parameters to make your graphs dynamic, and then combine everything into a story to share your findings.

Next, you’ll need to address the fact that shipping costs remain a big expense for online retailers. You’ll work on strategies such as shipping more of the same product to reduce per-unit costs. You will also need to understand where the customers are and what they buy to make recommendations to the management for a new warehouse location.
<h2>Analyze The Data and Visualize Your Findings</h2>
As you collate your findings, you’ll create calculated fields and various visualizations in Tableau, such as dual-axis graphs, highlight tables, and maps. Finally, you'll use filters and parameters to make your graphs dynamic and combine everything into a story to share your recommendations.
