Hi Domenick ,

 

No need to create two pages, you can create two visual on the same page and using the bookmarks and the selection pane show/hide the visual you need.

I agree with MFelix that there is no need to create 2 pages. In fact, 2 pages leads to more overall maintanance (and slower performance because another page needs to be loaded). When you create the 2 visuals keep in mind the following suggestions:

+ Overlay one chart visual on top of the other, with the backgrounds turned on so they are not transparent.
+ Create 2 buttons/images. One saying, "Show Timeline" and the other saying "Show YOY" (or whatever makes sense for your context).  Again, these buttons/images can be overlayed to create a toggle effect.
+ In the Selection Pane, rename the visuals and buttons to something that helps you identify with them e.g. "Button Show Timeline", "Line Chart YOY"
+ Set the action of one button/image to be a bookmark that hides one chart visual & button while making the other chart visual & button visible. And vice versa.

I hope this helps.
