Dynamic Line Size With Table Calculation

Amanda Gessert Jan 27, 2012 1:00 PM

I am trying to create a line chart where the most recent year (dynamic) has a thicker line size than the other years. I was able to do this using an if statement when I built a chart without a table calculation, but the % difference table calculation seems to be throwing things off. Anyone have a thought on how to approach this? A sample dashboard is attached.

Thanks!!

This may not be exactly what you want, but I took a Duplicate of your "Now it's not" Worksheet, removed the pill from the Size -- then I changed the "Year of Order Date" to Discrete and plopped that in on the Size shelf. It made the 2012 line nice and plump.

Some variation of that hack might get you want you need, if this hack is insufficient.
