Introduction
I was recently catching up on the Flerlage Twins blog, and came across a post that I had somehow missed from the end of last year about trying to solve a highlighting problem with donut charts when filtering. I read through it, and was surprised that my favorite technique from Yuri Fal didn’t work, and the solution Ken landed on required adding another data source/relationship. So I decided to give it a try and see if I could match the desired behavior without bringing in another data set. I was successful, so that’s your challenge this week.
Requirements
- Dashboard size: 500×700
- Create a donut chart showing Sales by Category, with a label of total sales inside the donut
- Create a second donut chart showing Sales by Sub-Category, with a label of distinct product count for the selected category
- Clicking on the Category chart should filter the Sub-Category chart to only the Sub-Categories in that Category
- When clicking the Category chart, the pie piece should not highlight at all
- Sub-Category colors gradient should align with Category colors
- No scaffolding or secondary datasets
Dataset
