Chart Exploration / how to get dimension list

herard_bertrand — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 08:36:27 GMT

Hello, I would like to use the “Chart Exploration” feature of the new version of the “Straight Table” object. It works very well, I just have a question: is it possible to
1) allow users to swap columns but not to remove dimensions / measures
2) otherwise, is there a simple way to retrieve the list of active dimensions? (my problem is that I have complex calculation functions with aggr requiring to know the list of dimensions used).

Best regards

Hi,

From what I recall, you can change the order of the displayed dimensions by rearranging the list of dimensions on the left-hand side of the properties panel.

As for your second question, I'm not aware of a built-in way to retrieve the list of active dimensions in a table.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

To precise my question, my point was to know if it's possible to let the user change the order of columns AND not be able to suppr a column (by unchecking the corresponding box).

Thanks
