Custom base values in highlight function
Hi DavidB,
What I want, is to be able to chose the data that the bar/pie/funnel highlights behind - not the total data of the dataset. I want this, because I want to be able to compare it with my current active customers or any other base I might see fit to compare it with.
I'm not sure I can understand your requirement totally. Could you be more precisely with it by posting some sample data and screenshots? So that we can better assist on this issue. :smileyhappy:

Hello v-ljerr-msft
Thank you very much for replying.
So you know when you make a simple funnel chart, you can go in to: Visual tools > Format > Edit interactions.
After that, you can select to "Highlight" on how the chart acts when slicing/selecting data in the report.
Then in the background of the funnel, the original total will be a bit transparent and the sliced/selected data will be the new funnel.
That way, it is easy to compare two totals on top of each other.
In my case, I want to be able to set/control the transparent part - i wan't the "base" to be a static amount always, that I have chosen, not the total of the dataset I'm working with.
I hope you can understand what I mean, and it probably isn't possible now that I think more of it.
But I would very much welcome any other suggestions on how to easy compare data that is sliced/selected with a static amount I set beforehand.
No dice? :)
If my "problem" can't be solved - can anyone recommend a nice way to show my customer base numbers compared to fixed population numbers?
No one at all, that can give me an example of how they show their base compared to a population? :)
I would really like to make some good looking stuff, but I'm out of ideas of this one, if my original problem can't be solved.
