This post is going to build on the foundations from part 3 of the series. If you have not read part 3, I recommend you do so, by clicking here .
Let’s get into it.
First you will need to have the dashboard with 4 charts that was built in part 3 of the series.
The Logic
The Logic behind this next part is that I will use parameter actions to update the parameter from another chart. First, I need to build a chart using the Region dimension, any chart will do (I will use concentric, aka onion, chart).
Add New Chart to Dashboard
Next I will add the new chart to the dashboard.
The Parameter Action and Formatting
Once I have added the new chart, I will:
- First, remove the Parameter from the dashboard.
- Next, format the dashboard with the legend and sizing.
- Then, set the parameter action.
The Final Product
Finally, I need to test the dashboard to make sure it is behaving as I want.
CONGRATULATIONS!! You now have a fully functional 4 quadrant sheet swapping/zooming dashboard controllable from another chart.
I hope you have found the post useful, and I will see you next time.
