Introduction
Dimension Changer Widget Plugin allows the user to display several values on one widget with easy values switching on the same chart visualization.
The purpose is to display several related values in one chart in a simple and easy way.
The Dimension Changer Widget Plugin can be used in Column Chart, Pie Chart, Bar Chart, Line Chart and Pivot.
Important: The Dimension Changer Widget Plugin does not support ranking filter (Top x).
The Dimension Changer Widget Plugin works on V5.7. and up.
Example
In this example we choose 3 values to switch between in the Dimension Changer Widget Plugin.
Above we see the Dimension Changer Widget and below we see the Column chart it affects.
The data presentation in the chart below changes according to the value chosen in the Dimension Changer Widget above. You can see the chosen value marked in green.
In this example we see that clicking on a value changes the data visualization in the graph - from Total revenues to Total Quantity.

In order to add the Dimension Changer Widget Plugin to affect a chart, please follow the listed steps below:
