Summary

This brings us to the end of the chapter. In this chapter, we learned how to create user-friendly and interactive dashboards that help us manipulate data as per the users' requirements. We learned all about KPIs and how they can be used for data analysis. We learned about various types of charts, how to implement them, and how to make them dynamic. We then learned about the different types of expressions that we can use in the charts and other objects, to optimize the data displayed there. We also learned how to use containers to combine all the charts into one location, instead of having them spread all over the dashboard. Finally, we learned how to use buttons in the dashboard and how to manipulate data using those buttons.

In the next chapter, we will learn all about set analysis.
