Slicer which when selected will automatically select a range
Hi,
I have a dashboard which contains a list of organisation names, but these exist within a hierarchy, e.g. all organisations belong to a region, and all regions belong to a country.
I would like to be able to have users select an organisation and have my visualisations automatically show the organisation selected, the region and also the country too.
The regions and country are all in the same list of organisations names, e.g.
England | Country |
London | Region |
South West | Region |
South East | Region |
South West London Healthcare Partnership | Organisation |
Kent and Medway STP | Organisation |
So, if I selected Kent and Medway STP I would automatically get South East and England as parent and grandparent in the hierarchy under which Kent and Medway STP 'sits'.
Does this make sense? I would imagine I'll need to create a table that shows the parent and grandparent for each organisation, but assuming that can be done quite simply, is the thing that I am hoping to achieve then possible?
Thanks,
RW
Hey RW,
wouldn't you want a dimension such as this:
Organisation Region Country Kent and Medway STP South East England South West London Healthcare Partnership South West Some Bogus Country In this way, when you add this to a hierarchy slicer, you would get the required levels.

Buckswriter , with the current data the hierarchy does not make sense. How do we reach to region based on the above data?

Hi Buckswriter
The solution highly recommend is to modify your data structure, you can use the structure bellow,
