Pie chart Drill to Children

Hello,

Is there a way to have a dashboard page selection drive the content of a Pie Chart? If in the page selection, "Americas" is selected, have it's immediate children (i.e. USA / Canada) show up in the Pie?

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes! I'm not a master at charts, but here's how I did it:

Assuming a Composite List with Regions as the Parent, and Countries as the child
In the module you want to create the chart in, hide the parent items (e.g. Americas) using a filter. We have to use a filter, because, in order to synchronize, we cannot have hidden rows, or have used the Select Levels To Show, etc.
1. For my example, I created a line item in my chart module and put a 1 in the formula, and set the Summary to None. Then I applied a filter where this line item = 1...and only the lowest level items show.
Publish the Parent list to the dashboard as a selector
Publish your pie chart to the dashboard, and synchronize your countries.

See attached examples.

Cheers!

New UX Filtering for Hierarchy sibling
I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context and…
