Changing the Axis dynamically (values versus % contribution)

Hi all,

 

I have a column chart in which I graph values on the Y axis against binned values in the x axis. the values being the actual value, or the percentage contribution, depending on which option I've selected. I've displayed the 2 options, below, as 2 separate charts. My question is, how can I display the axis choice as a parameter option, and allow users to select it themselves? I thought I could do it via field parameters, but it doesn't seem obvious. Please help !

For field parameters you need to create an explicit measure, what you have on here is the implicit measure, so you need to actually write a measure for each option and then you can put them into field parameters.  make sense?
