Geography and Order Health Analysis with Power BI Dashboards
Explore regional sales, state performance, city sales and order trends
Sales performance can vary significantly across locations, while order outcomes can reveal additional operational patterns.
For an e-commerce business, looking at sales by region, state, and city alongside order status, cancellations, and returns provides a broader view of business performance.
The Geography & Order Health Power BI dashboard combines these perspectives into one interactive analytical view.
At RUSA Analytics, we use Power BI dashboards to help organizations organize geographic and operational data into useful business insights.

RUSA Analytics Geography & Order Health dashboard built with Power BI.
What Is Geography and Order Health Analysis?
Geography and order health analysis combines two important areas:
Geographic performance
Region
State
City
Net sales
Order health
Delivered orders
Cancelled orders
Returned orders
Cancellation rate
Return rate
Together, these views help businesses understand not only where sales are happening, but also how orders are performing.
Sales by Region
The Sales by Region visual provides a regional comparison of net sales.
This allows users to identify differences in sales contribution across geographic areas.
Regional analysis can support business questions such as:
Which regions contribute more to sales?
How does sales performance vary geographically?
Which regions may require additional investigation?
Power BI makes these comparisons easier by presenting geographic performance in an interactive dashboard.
Top 10 States by Net Sales
The Top 10 States by Net Sales visual provides a more detailed geographic breakdown.
Moving from regions to individual states helps businesses identify specific locations contributing strongly to overall sales.
State-level analysis can be useful for:
Sales planning
Market analysis
Regional strategy
Distribution planning
Performance monitoring
Top 10 Cities
The dashboard also includes Top 10 Cities, allowing users to examine sales performance at the city level.
City-level analysis provides a more granular view than regional or state-level reporting.
A business can use this information as a starting point for understanding where demand is concentrated.
Order Status Trend
Sales alone do not tell the complete story.
The Order Status Trend visual tracks monthly orders across statuses such as:
Delivered
Cancelled
Returned
This helps businesses observe how order outcomes change over time.
For example, users can examine whether cancelled or returned orders show noticeable changes across different months.
Return Rate by State
The Return Rate by State visual adds another layer to geographic analysis.
Two states may generate similar levels of sales but have different return behavior.
Examining return rates by state can therefore help businesses identify locations where further investigation may be useful.
Possible areas for investigation could include:
Product mix
Customer expectations
Delivery experience
Regional purchasing patterns
Operational processes
The dashboard highlights the pattern, while additional business analysis is needed to determine the underlying cause.
Cancellation Rate by Channel
The dashboard also includes Cancellation Rate by Channel.
This connects order cancellations with the channel through which the order was placed.
Comparing cancellation rates across channels can help businesses identify differences in order behavior and determine where deeper investigation may be useful.
This is particularly valuable when geographic and order-level analysis are viewed together.
Understanding Order Health
Order health provides a broader perspective than sales alone.
A simple framework is:
Orders → Delivered → Cancelled → Returned
Monitoring these outcomes can help businesses understand how successfully orders move through the purchasing process.
A Power BI dashboard can bring these measures together so that users can monitor operational patterns alongside sales performance.
Combining Geography and Order Performance
The real value of this dashboard comes from combining geographic and order information.
For example:
Region → State → City → Sales → Returns → Cancellations
This allows users to move from a high-level geographic view to more detailed operational analysis.
Instead of asking only:
“Where are we selling?”

business teams can also explore:
“How are orders performing in those locations?”
