Ohhhh it’s time for some shiny new features! Parameter actions dropped last week and what a hit they have been! People are republishing their work using the new feature! So I hope you’ve had time to practice them a little bit because we’re about to hit the ground running with them!
Requirements
- Dashboard size: 700 x 700
- Create a small multiple Pareto chart based on sub category, sales and number of orders
- Create a parameter to select which measure you want to compare against (Sales or Orders)
- Add in reference lines on both axis
- When sales is selected, there should be a % reference line across the Y axis, with the X axis reference line being the point of interception on the pareto, and when orders is selected, there should be a % reference line across the X axis, with the Y axis reference line being the point of that interception.
- Use Parameter Actions ONLY to change those reference lines on hover
- Match tooltips and colours.
- Make sure your title is dynamic too

hi Lorna,
Are these pareto charts showing correct values ?
like what percent of orders make up what percent of orders ?
I tried putting subcategory filter individually and the values do not match up .
Hi Lorna,
great Workout!! – I learned a lot on Tablecalcs 🙂
Here’s my shot
