To narrow down and present only sales data for specific months, which feature would you use?

Using the filtering feature is the best choice for narrowing down and presenting sales data for specific months. Filtering enables users to include or exclude data that meets certain criteria. In this case, you would set a filter to display only the sales data corresponding to the months of interest. This means you can focus on specific time periods without altering the underlying dataset, providing a clear view of the data that matters most for your analysis.

In contrast, cross-highlighting allows users to see data interrelations but does not provide the selective filtering that is needed for focusing on specific months. Sorting organizes data in a particular order, such as ascending or descending, but does not limit the dataset to just those months you want to analyze. Drillthrough enables users to explore data in greater detail from a summary view, but it also does not restrict the data to specific months initially.

Ultimately, filtering is designed to refine data sets based on specified parameters, making it the correct tool for isolating sales figures for distinct months.
