6. Top 5 Customers by Gross Sales: Identify and display the five customers with the highest gross sales.
7. Top 5 Products by Gross Sales: Highlight the five products with the highest gross sales.
8. Revenue by Product Category: Present the revenue generated by each product category.
9. Scatter Plot: Include a scatter plot to visualize the relationship between two variables, such as order quantity and total sales.
10. Forecasting: Utilize forecasting techniques to predict future order quantity and total sales, enabling informed decision-making.
11. Filter by Year: Allow users to filter the data based on a specific year to analyze sales performance within a particular time frame.
12. Filter by Month: Enable users to filter the data by month, allowing for more granular analysis of sales trends and patterns.
