I have a dashboard in which the first set of visualizations comprises a row of "Number" style visualizations/tiles. These numbers represent items in different categories, and the underlying SQL that creates them uses WHERE logic to tease out the categories. For example:
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM items
WHERE category = 'x'
^ This would refer to a Number-tile in the dashboard called "Count of Category X".
I'd like to be able to set up click-through behavior, such that clicking on the number opens a new, saved question, called ITEMS, which has a filter for categories. I'd like it to open this saved question and pass through the value x to the filter.
It seems like this is not possible, since x itself is not a filter on the original Number tile. Is there a workaround? I've also tried restructuring the query for the Number tile, like so:
SUM(CASE WHEN category = 'x' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Count of Category X"
Hi @flamber, yes, this is clear to me! But maybe there's some mixup.
The visual in the dashboard, called Count of Category X, doesn't have any variables in it. Let's call this "click-through visual".
When a user clicks on this visual, I'd like it to take them to the table called Items, which has a filter field called Category. Let's call this "results table". I would like the value passed to the Category field in the results table to be equal to x.
@skye Clicking on the question title will take you to that question. Number/Trend visualization shows the title below the value, which is different from all other visualizations, so maybe that's the confusing part. https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/25594 - upvote by clicking on the first post
