Difficulties with making visuals filter each other in the desired manner

jonmaas — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 06:32:49 GMT

Dear Community, I am currently working in a 3 column table, called "Status", that has the columns productID, statusName and statusValue. An example with 12 rows should look like this:

productID	StatusName	StatusValue
100	Ampel1	green
100	Ampel2	green
100	Ampel3	yellow
100	Ampel4	red
101	Ampel1	green
101	Ampel2	green
101	Ampel3	green
101	Ampel4	red
102	Ampel1	red
102	Ampel2	red
102	Ampel3	red
102	Ampel4	red

My goal is to create 4 bar charts that show the Counts of statusValues for each of the statusNames. Currently I do this by creating the bar chart, adding the [StatusName] column as a filter and manually selecting the correct statusName as the filter, for example "Ampel1".Afterwards I created a measure that uses COUNTROWS(Status) and added it as the y-axis for all the bar charts and selected the StatusValue column as my x-axis. While this works my team lead recently asked me whether it would be possible to have the bar-charts filter each other whenever a bar is clicked. Wihin the sample data context the bar-chart for the statusName "Ampel2" would show the counts of green:2, red:1, yellow:0. Clicking on the "green" bar within the bar-chart for statusName = "Ampel1" should change the results shown in the "Ampel2"-Chart to green:2, red:0, yellow:0 because the product with the ID 102 is no longer considered within the context of the "Ampel2"-Chart as it's statusValue for Ampel1 is not "green".

Is there any way to make this work within a table like this? I know that if each statusName had it's own column it would be easy, but I haven't given up on this approach yet.

Hi jonmaas ,

You can try below properties for bar chart to have the count of Products based on StatusValue and StatusName.

X-Axis : StatusName

Y-Axis : Count of ProductID

Legends : StatusValue

Please refer to the below screenshot for the same,

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately stacked bar-charts are not what I want to use. Neither is the filtering I asked about included within your suggestion. Implementing the chart with your suggested field selection still does not allow me to filter the bar for "Ampel2" to only consider products that have a certain value for "Ampel1" by clicking the bar representing the desired value.

Thank you for you engagement! This is a rather embarrassing typo and was meant to be "102".
Is there any other information you'd require to understand my problem?

Best regards,
Jonathan

Hi jonmaas ,

You may need to change your data model:

First create four different tables for StatusName

Then create a table for Product ID

Manage relationships between them:

Create four charts with four different tables:
