- Drill-down
- Drillthrough
- Cross-filtering (CORRECT)
- Cross-highlighting
That’s correct. Cross-filtering allows one visual to change the displayed information in another visual by selecting a data point in the first visual.
2. You’re exploring an interactive business intelligence dashboard that displays two main visuals. The first chart shows monthly sales across regions. The second chart is a stacked column chart depicting the relationship between Month, Order Quantity, and Order Status. When you select the June bar corresponding to the West region in the first chart, you observe that the columns representing June in the second chart start to highlight particular sections within the stacks. These highlighted portions show the Order Quantity and their respective Order Status for products sold in the West region during June. The rest of the data in the stacked column remains visible but less prominent. What is this interaction called?
- Cross-filtering
- Cross-highlighting (CORRECT)
- Drillthrough
- Data visualization
That’s correct. Cross-highlighting emphasizes certain portions or data points in one visual based on the selection in another visual, without necessarily filtering out the non-emphasized data.
3. You are creating a multi-page business intelligence dashboard containing multiple levels of data from a retail chain. The main dashboard presents an overview of total sales across all stores. You want users who select the California section to be taken to another page of the report that provides detailed sales data specific to each store in that state, including top-selling products and customer feedback for each individual store.

That’s correct! Using drillthrough enables you to access detailed data information through navigation to a separate focused report page centered on a specific data point or context.
8. Which of the following statements best describes the purpose of filtering in data analysis?
- To highlight specific cells or rows in a dataset based on certain criteria or rules
- To arrange data in a sequential manner
- To screen out or focus on parts of the data based on specific conditions (CORRECT)
- To change the graphical representation of the data
That’s correct! Filtering helps in narrowing down data to specific segments, making analysis clearer and more targeted.
9. What best describes the function of cross-filtering in visual reports?
- It displays the raw data of the selected visual.
- It highlights specific cells or rows in a dataset based on certain criteria or rules.
- It allows a selection in one visual to filter out unrelated data in another visual. (CORRECT)
