Build a market basket analysis dashboard using nested filters in Amazon QuickSight

Amazon QuickSight is a scalable, serverless, machine learning (ML)-powered business intelligence (BI) solution. As a fully managed service, QuickSight lets you create and publish interactive dashboards that can be accessed from any device and embedded into your applications, portals, and websites. Traditionally, building market basket analysis dashboards requires data engineering pipelines that can take weeks to implement, because these often depend on ETL (extract, transform, and load) jobs, complex SQL operations, and updates on the data pipeline. The nested filter capability in QuickSight simplifies this process with a no-code interface. In this post, we show you how to configure nested filters in a QuickSight dashboard and how they can aid in different business use cases within market basket analysis. We show how nested filters can provide more advanced filtering to help solve common challenges with market basket analysis dashboards in four different use cases.
