Dynamic chart naming based on selected measure

I have a bar chart with the option to select between multiple alternative measures and dimensions.

I want to change the chart name based on the measure and dimension I select. Is it possible?

You have the ability to create an expression for your chart title.

Try using this in your expression:

GetCurrentField([group name])

Yes , it is possible but not with Alternative measures; instead :

1) create an inline table as follow:

Dimensions:

load * inline [

Dimension, DimID

Dim1, 1

Dim2, 2

];

2) add this newly created Dimension field as a filter pane in ur sheet

3) change ur dimension in your chart, from al-ternative dimensions to:

if(DimID=1, YourFirstDimension, YourSecondDimension)

with that, based on the selections u make in the Dimension field, one of your Actual dimensions will be the shown one in your chart.

4) In the title, :

'Measure by '&Dimension


The same logic can be replicated with your Alternative Measures.

That's possible when u create an hiearchic dimension, isn't it?

I guess it's not possible natively.

What is 'group name' here?

That wouldn't work if I'm using the normal Alternative Dimensions feature for charts, right?

OmarBenSalem

Nope.. u'll have to create ur own dimensions/measures to select

How do you switch between Dimension or Measure?

Is it via Cyclic group?
