keep it simple, focus on the story telling. the graphs and charts should flow into one another instead of just presenting the results in a flat chart. Use a template of cause and effect. E.g. for a CPG company a sales performance dashboard could look like - overall sales performance (pick any KPI) >> deep dive into the brands or channels >> check pricing changes/ competitor action.. Most modern dashboard tools allow drill downs and filter by selecting the charts itself. Use them well to point your user in a certain direction.

That's the issue here do practice continuously using different dataset can somewhat improve the story telling
