Your prompt
Build a dashboard from this data. Headline: [your headline number] Filter by [your slice by]. Look at the data before choosing charts. Column names lie, dates arrive in three formats, and the interesting cut is rarely the one the column order suggests. One headline number, then the trend, then the breakdown. A dashboard with eight equally sized charts has no point of view and gets read as wallpaper. Make the filter change everything on the page, including the headline. A filter that only redraws one chart is worse than no filter, because the numbers now disagree with each other on screen. One self-contained HTML file. No CDN, no build step.

Why this works
A dashboard with eight equally sized charts has no point of view and gets read as wallpaper. This picks one headline number, then the trend, then the breakdown, and makes the filter change everything on the page including the headline.
