Change the slide direction

I created a scatter plot in order to represent the quality of a product related to its price. To do so, I calculated two indicators which values are between -1 and 1. In order to show the best products (low price and best quality), I put two slides on which you could choose an interval between -1 and 1.

But, if the horizontal slide is in the right order (-1 on the left, 1 on the right), it is not the same for the vertical slide (-1 up and 1 down).

Is it possible to put the slide the other way ?

Hi Stefaan,

Did you try to sort on Numeric Value?

See attachment.

Hi,

I'm hitting this problem now, but the Sort tab is disabled.

Please see sample.

Sort disabled because you use variable and directly assign min and max values.

In other words - there is nothing to sort.

Consider creating a field with corresponding numeric values in the load script.

Then use this field instead of your variable.

In this case you can use sorting.

Hi WL,

Thanks for this. I've got something working. I am having to preset the field values behind the sliders by either creating (then deleting) a listbox with always one selected, or by adding a trigger to the sheet to set a field value. I'm also now cluttering up my Current selectons field with up to 8 slider values.

Deciding now whether it's worth dealing with these issues in order to show the negative options of a slider below the positive ones. Might just flip them to horizontal instead.

Regards,

Jonathan

The horizontal orientation is perfect for time values while vertical for zoom

As for the case itself, I prefer to use the solution with separate field as more common and easily extensible (dual, sorting and so on).
