Excellent and inventive way to use parameters.

Great work and keep discovering.

Simple and works well,  I really like this!

Great work, thanks Ken!

Hi Ken,

Thank you for sharing your awesome idea. 

Is it possible to change a drop down to be a list of items and display visuals based on users's selection?

Thanks!!

Saowanee

This is exactly what I needed.  Thank YOU!!

bravo!

Anyone have any thoughts about this technique in light of how v8 dashboards with floating elements work?  I'm finding that if I place items side by side I can use this technique to turn them on and off, but if I overlay them atop one another there is no setting of "floating order" that allows two sheets to alternate using a single portion of a dashboard.

David,

This is possible to accomplish this using layout containers and parameter filtering that is somewhat similar to the example above. Have you found the solution you need yet?

I love this solution to a common problem I face in my dashboard construction. My end goal is to create a parameter that can switch out two visualizations which contain the same metric (a bar chart and a crosstab) to two visualizations focused around another metric. To me it seems that this can't be done because a parameter and visualization have a 1:1 relationship. Has anyone else run into this problem?

The technique demonstrated in this thread is a great example of "swapping".  There is another technique called "popping".

We made a video to demo swappinga popping.  You might want to check out the popping portion of the video here:
