In many cases, you can narrow the focus of a chart by selecting a range of values on a chart axis. For charts that display data for many periods, this is particularly useful for focusing your analysis on just the most recent periods.
To focus a chart by selecting axis values, complete the following steps:
-
Click at a spot that is near or on the first axis value, and hold down the left mouse button.
-
Drag the mouse pointer until the green selection area touches all of the axis values that you want to include.
-
Release the mouse button.
wInsight Analytics redisplays the chart based on the selected data. The horizontal and vertical scales are changed automatically to provide the most useful display of the selected chart line.
Focusing a chart in this way actually changes the corresponding filter values. For example, if you select a subset of the periods along the horizontal axis, that applies a period filter. As a result, focusing a chart changes not only that chart but all other analytic objects on the tab that are subject to that filter.
