Understanding the Line Y-Axis

I am recreating a chart which shows total number of clients per month - within the Y-Axis, I want to pull in those clients who bought for example a red bag. So I have selected Line and Clustered Chart.

 

X-Axis - Sales Month

Y-Axis - Count of how many sales

 

This is ok.

 

But using the Line Y-axis - is pulling a total number of each month but Id like that total to only be for 'red bags'. Could someone please kindly tell me how I can achieve this?thanks

 So, id like the columns to prepresent the total sales each month. So 27 in total for june and 24 for july. Id like the line to only show red bags. So this would be 9 for june and 8 for july. Does that make sense? Am I using the wrong visual ?thank you

Add the bag color column as a filter on the visual, the page, or the report.
