Dashboard Components
  • KPI Card: Average Readability Score
    Formula: AVERAGE of Readability Score column = (5+7+7+9+8+10)/6 = 7.67
  • Bar Chart: Font Size vs Average Readability
    Groups: Font Size 12, 16, 20
    Calculations:
    - 12 px: (5+7)/2 = 6
    - 16 px: (7+9)/2 = 8
    - 20 px: (8+10)/2 = 9
  • Line Chart: Line Height vs Readability for each Font Size
    Plots line height on X-axis, readability on Y-axis, separate line for each font size (12,16,20)
  • Data Table: Shows all sample data rows for reference

Interactivity

User can select a Font Size filter (12, 16, or 20 px). This filter updates:

  • Bar Chart to show readability only for selected font size
  • Line Chart to show line height vs readability for selected font size
  • Data Table to show only rows matching selected font size
  • KPI Card updates average readability for selected font size
Self Check

If you add a filter to show only Font Size = 16 px, which components update and what changes occur?

  • KPI Card: Average readability changes to (7+9)/2 = 8
  • Bar Chart: Shows only bar for 16 px with value 8
  • Line Chart: Shows line for font size 16 with points at line heights 18 (7) and 24 (9)
  • Data Table: Shows only rows with font size 16
Key Result
Dashboard shows how font size and line height affect readability scores with interactive filters.
