Data Explorer
Use this skill to: Explore your data.
Data Explorer gives an overview of performance for a single subject across different metrics and time periods. Users can also get an understanding of the overall trend of a metric as well as top movers in that metric to have an understanding of the competition (when relevant).
Default Visualization: Table
Dimension Breakout 
Use this skill to:
- Determine which brands/flavors are leading the category?
- Which ones are leading growth?
- How am I doing compared to my key competitors?
Dimension Breakout will compare absolute value and growth across different subjects and metrics, identify top & bottom performers, and rank highest growing/declining performers in the market for a single time period. In configuration you can set up "groups of metrics" such that when users are asking for a metric, they can view performance across all metrics by default. For example: How do sales for Brand X compare to other competitors? The answer can include sales volume and price out of the box.

FAQ Skill
Use this skill to: Understand the analysis available, what the copilot can and cannot do, what kind of questions can be asked.
