Re: Dashboard Inspiration
I had the same ask as well, to have the title go all the way across and then begin columns. I couldn't find a good workaround with my current version ... I even tried just duplicating the widget and leaving it blank but you still get that noticeable break ... I've noticed my users generally don't seem to mind the short title bar if there is another visual or more interactivity in that space to distract them and not just white space, e.g. in the case where there is a Tabber or a map in the top right corner and not an indicator ... food for thought!18KViews2likes0CommentsRe: Unit Conversions as a Dashboard Filter
Thanks for sharing that link -- bookmarked!! It explains way better than I could what my dashboard and model are currently doing. I received feedback from a client recently that showed that when the filter is disabled (they did not realize it had been disabled), the calc conversion values are all added together. I had hoped the result would have been N/A, but I guess it makes sense as the formula is written. I'm looking for a way to lock the filter so that it is always turned on and the user cannot disable it, forcing a filter selection. I guess the title of my original post is a little misleading now that I think about it -- sorry about that.5KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Unit Conversions as a Dashboard Filter
Thanks!! Switchable Dimensions looks like a good option. I only just recently discovered the lock feature on the filters, and even more recently the power of the background filter, so awesome!! I just saw a community blog post from last night referencing currency conversions ... I'm trying to work through the YouTube video now to see if I can get it to work for my use cases, thought I'd put it here too for anyone else.

Hey, there! I have several business requirements for multiple dashboards to include a "toggle" of sorts between different unit conversions -- most often it's currency, temperature, and ft2/m2, and with the conversion calcs in their own dim tables. So what we've been doing is creating a dashboard level filter based on the unit description and make it single select. Then we use a formula with this kind of syntax where max is the conversion rate, otherwise it is 0: SUM([BUILDING_ID], ([Total COST_EUR]* [Max EUR]+ [Total COST_GBP]* [Max GBP]+ [Total COST_USD]* [Max USD])) This works, but there is room for error in that the user can turn the filters on and off and drastically skew the results that way. Is there a way to lock down the ability to turn filters on/off? Additionally, I'd be interested to hear some other ways to handle this type of requirement. Thanks!5KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Dashboard Inspiration
This is a little more theoretical, but I had to come up with some basic templates recently and thought I would share a couple. This is more about how the user may want to ingest the data from a structural perspective of design, not so much the visual formatting. I hope these can provide some inspo!19KViews4likes2Comments
