Step 2. Take 3 charts for each KPI and map it data cells and set dynamic visibility as below
KPI | Component Used | Behavior Tab(Dynamic Visibility) | |
|
| Status | Key |
State Wise Sales | Column Chart | Selector!$C$2 | 1 |
Employee Count | Line Chart | Selector!$C$2 | 2 |
Top Customers | Column Chart | Selector!$C$2 | 3 |
How it Works:
On Preview Play button will take data from its source cells and send it to destination cell which is mapped to the dynamic visibility of the charts.
As In first 20 seconds of preview Data in destination cell of play button will be Selector!$C$2= 1 So chart: State wise sales will be visible as its dynamic visibility is set to 1.
