Introduction
One of my favorite challenges from the past is from Week 4 2020: Can you combine relative and custom dates? I was always fielding questions if I could have a relative date filter and a date picker on the same dashboard, but hadn’t ever figured it out. After Sean’s challenge that week, I implemented that technique in several dashboards at work. I was thinking back on this challenge and started to wonder if Dynamic Zone Visibility would make for an easier implementation now, and after some testing it definitely does! So here’s a remake of that 2020 challenge using some different techniques (and some familiar as well).
Requirements
- Dashboard Size: 1100 x 800px
- 3 sheets
- Filter the data set to Order Date <= TODAY()
- Create an area chart showing Sales, Profit, or Orders, depending on which has been selected
- Axis label should be dynamic
- Choose your colors but match the outline formatting
- Create BANs for Sales, Profit, and Orders that drive area chart selection
- Create a date filter selector with Last 30 Days, Last N Days, and Custom Dates.
- When Last N Days is selected, a box with N days should appear below
- When Custom Dates is selected, Start Date and End Date should appear
- This selection should drive a date filter that filters the BANs and area chart.
- No tooltips on the date selector or BANs
- Match tooltips ($ for Sales/Profit, not for Orders)
