Introduction
A huge thank you to Valerija Kirjackaja for sharing this fantastic challenge with us. It’s a little trickier than last week, this one is a classic #WOW – simple on the surface with lots of tricks behind the scenes. Reordering a chart using set or parameter actions is a pretty common use case – it allows us to compare the selected item (or person, or store) to the top performer more easily, especially when the list is too long to fit into a single view. This week, our guest coach Val is challenging you to bring the selected item to the top while also keeping it in its original place.

Dashboard Size 900 x 700
One worksheet
Create a bar chart showing sales by sub-category for the selected year, allow the user click on any sub-category to bring it to the top of the list, while also keeping it in its original place.
