In the above example, the filter uses the criteria set in the Item description contains column to look for records in the PayPal transaction – Item Title field.
The first item under Item description contains column contains more than one word. This will search for records in the transaction history that contains both the words macbook and tv.
On the second row, the search criteria are enclosed in quotation marks. This will search for records in the transaction history that contains the exact order of words as defined in the filter.
In the example below, both the Total PayPal revenue data line and the Macbook PayPal Revenue line (filter) is shown.
Clicking a point on the data line displays the details at the bottom of the chart.
Go to the DeepView chart and show the PayPal – Total Revenue data line then click a point on the data line.
