Expand Chart question

Hello all, currently I have a bar chart of cars from Car A to Car Z and each one has a certain mileage. This data is gotten from the Cars table which has a Cars Column, Dates column, and a Mileage column. But I want to have a feature where I can click on a car in that graph and it can show me the mileage per day for that specific car, basically a more specific view. How can I go about achieving this? Thanks.

Consider a custom tooltip so that users do not have to click the bar to view detailed information. It will float by itself on hover
