Plots with multiple dimensions or metrics
In Chapter 6, Creating Questions, we created the Orders per Day question and saved it as a line plot. We learned that our business has been steadily growing over time, which is great! Now we would like to learn a little more about this growth in orders. In particular, we want to understand how much of this growth can be attributed to Pick-Up orders versus Delivery. In this case, we're still interested in the same metric: Orders per Day. However, we want to see the metric broken down by two dimensions. Let's learn how we can create this question.

- In the Data section, choose Pies and Orders.
- Choose Count of Rows in the Summarize section.
