Interactivity

A slicer filter on Team Member allows selecting one or multiple members.

When filtered, all KPI cards, bar charts, and the detailed table update to show data only for the selected team members.

This enables focused collaboration analysis per person or group.

Self Check

If you add a filter selecting only Charlie and Eva, which components update?

• All KPI cards update to show totals only for Charlie and Eva.
• Both bar charts update to show data for Charlie and Eva only.
• The detailed table shows only rows for Charlie and Eva.

Key Result
