TABLEAU-STYLE CROSSFILTER DASHBOARDS

Similar to this popular Tableau feature, selecting data in Plotly dashboards can now filter all dashboard charts with the selected data.

To get you started, we’ve prepared 7 crossfilter tutorials with public health data on Plotly’s Github:

Plotly dashboards now have a “Report Mode” so that you can compose and share online reports with D3.js graphs, all without writing any code. Take a look at this remake of a Goldman Sachs financial report on Plotly:
