Dashboard with reusable bar charts

[inirem]

Hello everyone,

I wan’t to make my current dashboard even more interactive.

As you can see, I have a couple of values that get aggregated per Weekday (e.g. Sum Production on all Mondays / all Tuesdays and so on…).

Now I want to display the same aggragation for other values. For example I also want to have all Production Amounts (Good Parts / Bad Parts / Total Parts) per weekday.

To avoid getting an enormouse dashboard I would like to reuse the existing dashboards. Therefore i implemented a “Single Selection Widget” with a dropdown-list containing the possible options.

So basically the workflow I want is:

1. User chooses Value-Categories to display
2. Choose the relevant Columns for bar chart (this is where I am failing)
3. Filter per weekday (already existing)
4. Generate each bar chart (already existing)

So mostly it’s step 2) that I am failing on. I think I need something like a CASE-Switch. E.g.:

• IF SELECTED == “production amount” → THEN: display columns Good Parts / Bad Parts / Total Parts.

I already created a Table containing all values summed up per weekday (5 rows (one per weekday) and 18 columns containing the sum of the categorie at this day).

Any ideas how to get this going?

It would be a lot easier to try to help if you would share your current workflow and a data set.

I can’t share the original data but I will provide a simplified version that follows the same structure

This is a simplified version with fake data:

To make it more clear I colored those columns that belong to the same Bar-Chart-Version. Day of Week is always the X-Axis.

This is the corresponding workflow section of the dashboard:

Basically the Single Selection Widget should trigger some magic (maybe an CASE-SWITCH or something like that?) that allows me to filter switch the Data-Set that gets send to the Bar Charts.

Hope this helps understanding.

Could you PLEASE post the dummy data as a xlsx/csv file rather than a screenshot? Don’t expect help if Knimers have to retype your data.

Sorry, I was expecting an awnser like “use X and Y node to do it”. I did not think you would need the data.

Try this as a start.

The best way I could figure out is to use an Start-/End-Case-Switch node and the Single Selection Widget.

The Case-Switch-Output follows the same order as the options are given in the Single Selection Widget.
Then you can simply use a column filter and choose what data to continue with.

By following up with bar charts you can now reuse existing bar charts with different data sets.
