    Parameters/Calculated Fields to show Hospital Discharge Information for a certain area.

      Hello all.

      I want to create a parameter that allows me/user to toggle between two views on a dashboard, and I need help creating a calculated field to make this possible.

      The first view I would like to have is what's represented in the attached image. I want the second view to show information based on a specific zip code, so I can see patient origin for that zip code and drill down into information for facilities within that specified zip code. my idea is to have a parameter that would appear next to the filters in the top of the dashboard. I want it to be interactive so the user can switch between an "overall" market and "specific" market views.

      Let me know if I can answer any questions or be more clear in what it is that I want. I have attached the workbook. If there's a better way to achieve this effect I would be interested in learning that as well.

       

      Thanks in advance!

          Hi Hunter

          see the attached

           

          see the d/b - sorry I messed up the format

          but here is how the parameter and sheet swap work

          first the parameter

          Then a filter

          on the part 1 sheet and part 2 sheet place the filter worksheet and set to True

          on the Map set to False

          then create the viz  _ didn't know where to place the tital and origin - you will have to add

          Then you right click the Title ("header" on each sheet and hide it (that way it will disappear when we switch from detail to overall)

           

          this is the overall view

          this is the detail view

            Hey Jim,

             

            I'm afraid that's not what I'm looking for. But thank you for your efforts. I'll try and be more specific in what I'm asking.

             

            I would like the parameter to toggle between two views:

            • First view: Show all facilities (which are based on facility zip code in the data) - and have the heat map populate discharges by patient origin (represented by patient residential zip code in the data)
            • Second view: Show facilities within a single zip code that exists within the Facility Zip Code dimension, and have the map populate where these patients come from.

             

            The goal is build a dashboard that can toggle between the two conditions and show the relevant information.
