Today's task presented an intriguing challenge: to create an entire company from scratch and harness the remarkable abilities of ChatGPT to generate a Python script capable of producing a dataset comprising a minimum of 25,000 records. The envisioned purpose of this dataset was to serve as the backbone for an today's project—an interactive KPI (Key Performance Indicator) dashboard to be crafted using Power BI, designed to cater to the hypothetical needs of our newfound business venture.
As I embarked on this creative journey with ChatGPT, I sought its guidance on the industry my fictional enterprise should thrive in. Ultimately, I settled on the captivating realm of electric cars, an industry teeming with innovation and opportunity. Armed with this vision, I began feeding ChatGPT with the specific dataset requirements outlined for our project:
- Time Series: A fundamental component of our dataset, capturing the temporal dimension of our business operations.
- At Least 3 Dimensions: To add depth and complexity, we included various dimensions such as products, suppliers, and more.
- Geographical Data: To infuse a sense of place and context into our dataset.
- At Least 4 Measures: We meticulously integrated essential measures, ensuring we had sufficient data for comparisons. Sales, profit, and targets were among the metrics we incorporated.
- Demographic Data About Customers: To breathe life into our data, we included customer demographics, ensuring that our dataset resembled a dynamic ecosystem.
- Comparisons and Context: Every chart and numeric value in our dataset was imbued with relevant comparisons and contextual information, ensuring our data would speak volumes.
- Customisation: Beyond the essentials, we gave ChatGPT the creative freedom to include any additional elements it deemed fitting for our dataset.
ChatGPT astounded me with its efficiency, swiftly crafting a Python script in a matter of seconds. In addition to these instructions, I even tasked it with incorporating Order ID and price ranges for the products. Executing the Python script became a breeze using Jupyter Notebooks. Throughout this process, I iteratively created four to five scripts, each introducing new trends and columns into the dataset. The true advantage of leveraging ChatGPT lay in its unparalleled speed—it effortlessly generated Python code that would have otherwise demanded an extensive amount of manual labor.
With my freshly minted dataset in hand, the next step was to bring it to life through a dynamic Power BI dashboard. I didn't stop there; I also solicited ChatGPT's assistance in crafting some DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) to enhance the functionality of my dashboard further.
Looking back at this experience, I found it really interesting, it was the first time I used ChatGPT to create a dataset, and I'm sure it won't be the last. While the process was largely seamless, the challenge lay in coaxing ChatGPT to include specific trends in the data, requiring a few iterations to achieve the desired outcome.
In sum, my encounter with ChatGPT proved to be a positive and enlightening one. It piqued my curiosity about delving even deeper into the capabilities of this AI-driven tool, leaving me eager to explore the endless possibilities it offers for future data-related endeavors.
