  "account": "This project aimed to transform a raw Jumia product dataset into a useful business report using Microsoft Excel and Power Query. The primary objective was to answer questions like whether products with higher discounts generate more customer engagement and if higher-priced products have better ratings. The dataset, containing 115 rows and 6 columns, posed several data quality issues, which were addressed during the cleaning process.\n\nThe cleaned dataset consisted of 112 records, with 57 having complete rating and review information. After cleaning, Excel formulas were used to create analytical categories and flags, such as Discount Amount, Rating Category, Discount Category, Price Category, Engagement Flag, and Performance Flags.
