Use a selection frame to select a data area in your chart
In two-dimensional charts, you can use a selection frame to limit the data range to be analyzed. Depending on the chart type, various actions are available to you for analyzing the selected data range.
In top-flop charts and multiple charts, such as the multiple pie chart, the selection frame feature is not available.
In distribution and bubble charts, not only the values of the dimension axis, but also the values of the measure axis are transferred.
