How many unique orders do we have?
What is the most popular first item to add to the cart? Does that change by day of the week?
What is the distribution of the number of items in the shopping cart just before checkout?
What is the most popular second item?
What department or aisle do users most frequently shop first/last?
Create a bar chart of the number of items sold by day of the week.
What department gets the most sales?
Create a chart that shows the number of items bought from each department.
Do most people shop linearly? Is there a visualization that would show the path that most people take through the store, or by aisle, or by department?
