Using the User's selected value from one GenerateSeries function as a parameter in another.
Hi, I'm trying to allow the user to set a series of 'bandings' which the dashboard will then use to group items of corresponding value together. For example, I imagine the end output might look something like:
| Lower Banding | Upper Banding | Total count of items valued between those bands | Total value of items valued between those bands |
| 0 | 100 | 6 | 432 |
| 100 | 500 | 3 | 1,123 |
| 500 | 1000 | 4 | 2,467 |
I basically want to allow the user to select the values of the second column using a series of parameters, but I want to set the lower bound of each GenerateSeries function to whatever the user's selection was for the previous upper band. So the GenerateSeries for the first band might look like this:
GENERATESERIES( 0, 10000, 1)
the second might look like:

Hi Gdh1091 ,
In GENERATESERIES, Returns a table with one column, populated with sequential values from start to end. It is equivalent to a calculation table, and the contents of the calculation table cannot be filtered along with it.

Regarding the initial value of GENERATESERIES, you can check the following link:
