sure our data is clean let's create a data flow to remove any duplicate data points we'll expand the edit data menu and drag and drop remove duplicates onto the canvas clicking the white dot on our data set lets us connect this to the action we selected and we can select a column to check for duplicates using the drop down menu let's look for duplicate order ids and we'll leave this box unchecked since we want the search to be case sensitive now we'll go back to the datasets menu and drag and drop output dataset onto the canvas and connect it to remove duplicates we'll give this a name and description and we'll do the same for our new data flow our data flow is finished so let's save and run it by clicking the arrow next to the save button at this point we can also choose whether or not we want this data flow to run manually or automatically in response to certain triggers for now we'll choose to manually run this workflow when it's done we can see all the versions of

data we want to use for our visualization from the dimensions menu on the left side of the interface drag and drop country to the canvas now we'll go to the measures menu below to drag and drop sales

at a certain region let's drag and drop markets to the filter cell to zero in on sales made in the asia pacific market we can also make this filter into a quick filter so that users can easily interact with our visualization later to look closer information they're interested in domo also lets users create dashboards using their cards once we click save on this visualization we can either
