   • Identify correlations between different financial indicators.

3. Calculating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

   • Compute metrics such as Net Interest Margin (NIM), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Cost-to-Income Ratio using calculated fields.
   • Analyze the financial health and performance of MyUSA Bank based on these KPIs.

4. Building Tableau Dashboards:

   • Design interactive dashboards to present insights and trends.
   • Include summary cards, bar charts, line charts, and pie charts to visualize financial performance metrics.

5. Forecasting and Predictive Modeling:

   • Use historical data to forecast future financial performance.

6. Business Insights and Reporting:

   • Interpret findings to derive actionable insights for bank management.
   • Prepare reports or presentations summarizing key findings and recommendations.

Educational Goals:

The dataset aims to provide hands-on experience in data preprocessing, analysis, and visualization within the context of banking and finance. It encourages students to apply data science techniques to real-world financial data, enhancing their skills in data-driven decision-making and strategic analysis.
