Create dynamic charts

soaregj — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 18:14:49 GMT

Hi all,

I need to implement a dashboard that will present several bar charts based on the number of rows returned in my dataset. As illustration, my dataset is like below:

Category KPI Value

CAT1 KPI A 10

CAT1 KPI B 5

CAT2 KPI C 3

CAT3 KPI D 8

CAT3 KPI E 1

CAT3 KPI F 10

CAT3 KPI G 9

The slicer will contain the list of categories (CAT1, CAT2, CAT3). If the user selects the CAT1 on the slicer, then my dashboard needs to present 2 diferent bar charts for KPI A and KPI B. If the user selects CAT3 then the dashboard will present 4 diferent bar charts.

How to implement that? Do I need to create a custom visual? If so, is there any example to guide me?

Thanks a lot,

Guilherme Soares

I don't think it is possible, even with custom visual. The slicer visual is for filtering data and it can't control other visuals shown/hidden.

As a workaround, instead of showing different bar charts, show the data in one chart setting the KPI as "Legend" field.

Thanks @Eric_Zhang. I was probably too simplistic in my example. Sorry for that.

What I need is something like in the link below. Please notice every chart is a KPI and the quantity of KPI's (charts) varies from the location selected in the ChicletSlicer, meaning the charts are dynamically created on the report.
