Interactivity

A filter for Product Category allows selecting one or multiple categories. When filtered, the KPI card, bar chart, and table update to show only selected categories' sales. Labels on bars update accordingly.

Self Check

If you add a filter to show only Technology and Furniture, which components update and what do they show?

  • KPI Card: Updates to show total sales of Technology and Furniture: 7000 + 5000 = 12000.
  • Bar Chart: Shows bars only for Technology and Furniture with labels 7000 and 5000 respectively.
  • Table: Shows only rows for Technology and Furniture with their sales.
Key Result
