1. Introduction
The Call Center Dashboard Power BI Report provides real-time insights into customer support operations, helping teams track performance, optimize response times, and improve service quality.
2. Objectives
- Monitor Call Center Performance – Analyze call, chat, and email volumes and trends.
- Improve SLA Compliance – Track resolution times and service-level agreement (SLA) adherence.
- Analyze Ticket Distribution – Categorize and evaluate support requests.
- Identify Performance Gaps – Optimize operations by reducing response time and increasing resolution efficiency.
3. Data Components
3.1 Call Data
- Call Volume – Number of calls received.
- Month-over-Month (MoM) Change – Percentage increase/decrease in calls.
- Average Resolution Time (Days) – Time taken to resolve a call.
- SLA Compliance Rate (%) – Percentage of calls resolved within the SLA.
- Ticket Volume by Category – Distribution of calls by issue type (e.g., Billing, Login Problems, Account Issues, Technical Support).
3.2 Chat Data
- Chat Volume – Number of chat requests handled.
- MoM Change – Increase/decrease in chats.
- Average Resolution Time – Time taken to resolve chats.
- SLA Compliance Rate – Chat resolution compliance.
- Ticket Volume by Category – Breakdown of chat support requests.
3.3 Email Data
- Email Volume – Number of email queries received.
- MoM Change – Change in email volume.
- Average Resolution Time – Resolution duration for email tickets.
- SLA Compliance Rate – Email response compliance.
- Ticket Volume by Category – Categorization of email support requests.
4. Data Sources
- Call Center CRM Database – Stores customer interactions via calls, chats, and emails.
- Ticketing System – Records issue resolutions, categories, and timestamps.
- SLA Compliance Logs – Tracks response times and resolution adherence.
5. Performance Metrics
- Total Support Volume (Calls, Chats, Emails)
- MoM % Change in Volume
- Average Resolution Time (Calls, Chats, Emails)
- SLA Compliance Rate (%)
- Ticket Distribution by Issue Type
- Response Rate & Escalation Rate Trends
6. Expected Outputs
- Power BI Dashboard with Interactive Visuals
- Historical Trends Analysis
- Real-time SLA Monitoring
- Agent Performance Reports
- Customer Issue Trends Over Time
7. Use Cases
- Customer Support Managers – Optimize team performance.
- Call Center Agents – Improve response efficiency.
- Business Analysts – Identify operational bottlenecks.
- Executives – Track high-level performance insights.
8. Constraints & Assumptions
- Data Accuracy Depends on CRM Integration – Timely updates are crucial.
- Power BI Access is Required – Only authorized personnel can view reports.
- Service Delays May Impact Data Trends – Unexpected events could skew results.
9. Project Completion Method
Step 1: Data Extraction (SQL Queries)
The report extracts data from the call center database using SQL queries.
1. Call Data Extraction
sqlCopyEditSELECT
CallID,
CallDate,
ResolutionTimeDays,
SLA_Compliance,
TicketCategory
FROM Calls
WHERE CallDate BETWEEN '2023-01-01' AND GETDATE();
2. Chat Data Extraction
sqlCopyEditSELECT
ChatID,
ChatDate,
ResolutionTimeDays,
SLA_Compliance,
TicketCategory
FROM Chats
WHERE ChatDate >= DATEADD(MONTH, -12, GETDATE());
3. Email Data Extraction
sqlCopyEditSELECT
EmailID,
EmailDate,
ResolutionTimeDays,
SLA_Compliance,
TicketCategory
FROM Emails
WHERE EmailDate >= '2023-01-01';
Step 2: Data Transformation (Power Query – M Language)
Power Query cleans and structures the data for Power BI visualization.
Power Query Transformations
- Remove DuplicatesmCopyEdit
Table.Distinct(Source)
- Replace Null ValuesmCopyEdit
Table.ReplaceValue(Source, null, "Unknown", Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"TicketCategory"})
- Convert Resolution Time to Numeric FormatmCopyEdit
Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source, {{"ResolutionTimeDays", type number}})
- Calculate Monthly TrendsmCopyEdit
Table.AddColumn(Source, "Month-Year", each Date.ToText([CallDate], "MMM-YYYY"), type text)
Step 3: Data Modeling & Relationships
Tables are linked in Power BI to create relationships between datasets:
Table 1 (Calls) | Table 2 (Chats) | Table 3 (Emails) | Relationship |
---|---|---|---|
CallDate | ChatDate | EmailDate | One-to-One |
TicketCategory | TicketCategory | TicketCategory | One-to-Many |
A Date Table is created to enable time-based filters.
Step 4: Data Visualization (DAX Measures & Calculations)
DAX measures track performance KPIs in Power BI.
1. Total Call Volume
DAXCopyEditTotalCallVolume = COUNT('Calls'[CallID])
2. Total Chat Volume
DAXCopyEditTotalChatVolume = COUNT('Chats'[ChatID])
3. Total Email Volume
DAXCopyEditTotalEmailVolume = COUNT('Emails'[EmailID])
4. Month-over-Month (MoM) Change
DAXCopyEditMoMChange =
VAR PreviousMonth = CALCULATE(SUM('Calls'[CallID]), PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date]))
VAR CurrentMonth = SUM('Calls'[CallID])
RETURN
IF(PreviousMonth = 0, BLANK(), (CurrentMonth - PreviousMonth) / PreviousMonth)
5. SLA Compliance Rate
DAXCopyEditSLACompliance =
DIVIDE(
COUNTROWS(FILTER('Calls', 'Calls'[SLA_Compliance] = "Yes")),
COUNTROWS('Calls'),
0
) * 100
6. Average Resolution Time
DAXCopyEditAvgResolutionTime = AVERAGE('Calls'[ResolutionTimeDays])
7. Ticket Volume by Category
DAXCopyEditTicketByCategory = COUNT('Calls'[TicketCategory])
Step 5: Power BI Report Development
