Adding interactivity to your Dashboard

Be careful; this is going to be quick:

1. Click on the Profit by State Worksheet to select it (there is a gray outline once it's selected).
2. Click on the funnel icon, the third one. It turns white once you've clicked on it. The icon is highlighted:

3. Click on any state on the map and be proud! You just created an interactive Dashboard that automatically filters a selected state. You can also use Ctrl (Windows) or command (Mac) to select multiple states. 

Why stop there? You can do the same with Sales and profit by Sub-Category. Just click on the visualization, then on the funnel icon, and voilà, you can filter the Dashboard by Sub-Category.

The Dashboard tutorial is now over. I hope that you are as amazed as I was the first time someone showed me how to build a Dashboard. Don't skip the last part, where we are going to use Tableau as a data exploration tool.
