>> When you're looking at
a page in your report
and there's a visual
that you want to focus on
and look at
in a bit more detail,
you can use something
called Focus Mode.
It's a little icon in the top
right-hand corner of the visual,
lets you go into Focus Mode.
And what that does
for the visual
is takes over the entire space
in your report canvas
with just that visual,
so you can see more
of the detail in the individual
data points on the chart.
But you also get access
to a few other options there.
For example, up in the top
right-hand corner,
you'll see there's this icon
called See data.
When you click that,
what you'll see
is a tabular view
of the same information
that's in that visual
at the moment.
So you can see
this is showing the same split
of Unit Sales by category,
but it's actually showing me
the numeric values
in a tabular format
for each of these
different data points.
If I was looking at this
as more of a kind of
a cross tab, for example,
if I had different countries
in the Legend,
I'd see a Matrix view
of that data instead.
So it's a really simple way
to get to the tabular data
behind a Visualization.
I can also change the layouts.
So perhaps, if I had
more items on my columns
than I did on my rows,
I might want to change
so I can see more of that data.
The other thing
that you can do here is
we talked about drill,
drilling up and down
three hierarchies in the...
In the segment on hierarchies
earlier on in the course,
but I can continue to do things
like drilling down
and seeing all of the records
in this, in Focus Mode as well.
I can actually still change
the structure and the layout
of this Visualization as you saw
whilst I'm working
in Focus Mode.
So I can add things
to the Legend, for example,
or if I wanted to,
I can add things
into the Axis as well.
And do things
like adding and removing,
filter my hierarchies
so I can change what I get to
when I start
drilling up and down
right here as well.
I can still go and change
the layout and the structure,
the look and feel of the visual,
but I can also
get to the details
in the data behind it.
And finally,
I can actually export the data.
But for example, if I drilled
into a particular area
and then sliced and diced,
changed things around,
and then chose to go down
and see the individual records
in one of these points of data,
I'd still be able to export
all of those details
to a CSV file.
So I can take exactly the data
that I'm looking
at in this visual
and exports out to another file.
So that's it, you can focus
on a particular visual
to get more details behind it
to work with just that visual
and remove from view
the other things on your report.
