Working with a data point

You can view details, select, or perform actions on a data point.

About this task

You can work with an individual data point in different ways:
  • You can view its details. Sometimes you want to see the data for one specific part of a visualization. For example, a bar visualization shows you the monthly sales revenue for each country that you sell in. The bar for the UK in January shows you the proportional share for the UK but not the revenue number.
  • You can select it. This allows you to see the data point highlighted in all related visualizations in the current tab of the dashboard.
  • You can perform actions on it. For example, you can keep or exclude it in the visualization, drill down into it, sort it, or filter it.

Procedure

  1. To view the details of a data point, such as a bar, slice, or bubble, hover over it.
    A tooltip appears, showing information about the data point.
  2. To select the data point, click it.
  3. To perform actions on the data point, right-click on it and select an option from the list.
