Create a slider using data table value

[Jennerz]

Hey all,

I am trying to make a slider that uses one value "Price" that is from one of my data tables I've loaded in.

The slider will affect a scatterplot containing Equipment Name, Ordered Equipment Counts, and Estimated Shipping Time in Days, which uses data from that same table as the Price value.

Is there a way to do this without crazy variable work? The data table used for the aforementioned values affects a lot of other graphs.

I  hate to say this but I think you are going to be out of luck without at least some variables.

There are some add-on extensions that would do what you want.

I would like to offer a solution that won't be too crazy with variables but it is definitely not a slider.

You're going to need

three variables vMinVal, vMaxVal, and vSelectionString

Put vMinVal and vMaxVal in a couple of input box objects(in the Extensions/dashboard bundle)

set the value for vSelectionString to ='>=' & vMinVal & '<=' & vMaxVal

Now you can do a couple of things...

If you only want to effect the results of the scatter plot then add set analysis to your expressions like this {<Price = {"$(vSelectionString)"}>}

or if you want to set the selection on the price field you'll need to add a button to set the selection

you have to use the "Select values matching search criteria"

in the value field use =vSelectionString

Whatever you decide you may want to hop over to the ideation section and suggest the slider feature

Best of luck.
