This will open a calculated field dialog box where you can rename the field to “Page Number” and create this calculation: Once the copy shows up, edit it by right-clicking on the copy and choosing “Edit…”. To do so, duplicate the Region dimension by right-clicking on it and choosing “Duplicate”. If I can convert those dimension members into the selections I need, I can use the new dimension to create the page selector / control sheet. While I don’t have a dimension containing the members 1, 2, 3, and 4, I do have a dimension called Region which I know contains four members: Central, East, South, and West. Instead of connecting to a second data source, I’ll share another trick that allows you to create a dimension with custom dimension members. This makes it easier to create control sheets because you can create a dimension containing any custom values (i.e. I don’t have any fields in my dataset with the dimension members of “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4”, so one option is to use the trick I’ve shown before that involves connecting to a separate data source with custom parameter values. Page one will eventually display rows 1-5, page two will display rows 6-10, page three will display rows 11-15, and the final page will show the remaining two rows. I want the user to see five rows at a time, and there are 17 sub-categories, so I need four pages. Next, create a control sheet with the page number options you need. strings aren’t aggregated) and the allowable values of all means you can scale the number of page options for your table indefinitely (i.e. The data type of String will help prevent confusion with aggregation in future steps (i.e. Clicking a page number on the control sheet at the bottom of the table takes the user to a different subset of five sub-categories.įirst, create a parameter with a data type of String and allowable values of All.
