Uber Trip Insights Dashboard using Power BI

📘 Project Overview

This project analyzes Uber trip data to uncover meaningful trends and patterns using Microsoft Power BI. The goal is to transform raw trip information into actionable insights that help understand ride demand, peak usage times, and location-based trip distribution.

Data cleaning and transformation were performed using Power Query inside Power BI. The cleaned and modeled data is then used to create an interactive and informative dashboard that highlights key performance indicators (KPIs) and visualizes trends in Uber trip activity.

📥 How to Use

1. Clone or download this repository
2. Make sure dataset files are in the /dataset folder
3. Open UberDashboard.pbix in Power BI Desktop
4. Refresh the report to load data from the updated path
5. Explore visuals and slicers interactively

---

📌 Notes

• The Power BI file is linked to the dataset using a relative path so that refreshing data works if PBIX and dataset files are kept together.
• PBIX may show errors if the dataset is moved without updating the source via Transform Data → Data source settings → Change Source.
