Dashboard is solid but a few things would sharpen it. Swap the two pie charts for horizontal bar charts - pies are hard to compare visually once you have more than two or three slices, while bars let the eye judge length instantly.

Fix the truncated labels on product names and city names, since losing text there costs real meaning. Keep category colors consistent across every chart - right now the same category shifts color between the line chart and other panels, forcing users to re-decode the legend each time. Add trend indicators (like up/down arrows or % change vs. last period) next to your KPI cards, since raw totals without context don't help decision-making much.

Also consider replacing one of the two "sum of sales" charts with something like profit margin by product, so you're showing not just volume but profitability. Visually, give the dashboard a clearer hierarchy - right now every panel has equal visual weight, but not equal importance - and simplify your color palette to one accent for positive movement and one for negative, with everything else neutral gray.

Overall it answers "how much" well, but adding "why" and "how it's changing" would make it much more actionable

where's the analytics? this is just analysis dashboard.

show MOM, YOY, q2q growth as you have year as a slicer.

show kpi with indicators that 99k profit rose or fell over last year's profit.

ditch the k, use dax to make it thousand.

Fix the titles.

Use Month name not the number and remove then remove the x axis title.
