creating category filter for pie chart/graphics

Hi, is there a way to create a filter that you can use to choose differents categories for a pie chart or a graphic?

So for example, the idea is to have a pie chart that will show the proportion of sales by group of ages, but I want to create a way to have a type of filter that if I click on it, I will have in the same pie chart the distribution of sales by country.

Is the best way to do it with a button?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Yes you could. Create serveral bookmarks and use bookmark navigator.

@Anonymous , Based on the example you mentioned in last line , I think you need field parameters

Yes I saw this as a possibility but i dont have the access necessary to create field parameters. But maybe it could work with a bookmark?
