To quickly view different worksheets on your dashboard, you will need to set up a parameter and calculation and then place the worksheets onto your dashboard and remove the title.

Here are the steps you will use.

Step1: Create a Parameter

- Create a Parameter: 'Display Chart'

- Data type: String

- Allowable values: List

- Values:

- 1st Chart Name Here (type the name of your 1st sheet)

- 2nd Chart Name Here (type the name of your 2nd sheet)

- Click Ok

Step2: Create a Calculation to run the Parameter

- Create a calculation: 'Display Chart Name' and add the parameter field

- [Display Chart]

- Click Ok

Step3: Add the parameter calculation to the 'Filter card' of the 1st worksheet

- Select '1st Chart Name' and 'Ok'

Note: the view is displayed

Step4: Add the parameter calculation to the 'Filter' on the second worksheet

- Select Custom Calculation and type '2nd Chart Name Here', hit the (+) sign to add and 'Ok'

Note: the view will disappear, expected behavior. If your view did not disappear, STOP and undo to restart Step4.

Step5: On your Dashboard

- Select a 'Vertical' Pane from the left

- Add 1st sheet

- Add 2nd sheet and remove the 'Title'

Notes:

- If you use a horizontal pane, you will need to remove the title from the 1st sheet

- If you use a vertical pane, you can keep the title on the 1st sheet and remove it from all other sheets.

Step6: Add the Parameter to your view as a Float dropdown list near the 1st sheet.

That is it!
