Dynamically Change Parameter Values based on Other Parameters

0

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to "link" multiple parameters together so that a change in one is reflected in the other. For example, I am working with a dashboard and I want the user to be able to filter the data by a date range. Currently, I have startDate and endDate parameters which are used to filter all visuals in the dataset.

This works fine, but I also want the user to quickly be able to select all the days in a month without having to go through the hassle of changing the date parameters. For example, if the user wants to view data for September 2019, rather than having to navigate all the way back to this date in the date parameter controls, it would be nice if I could add a dropdown, in which the user could simply select Sept 2019.

The main problem is that I don't know how to keep these parameters in sync. In the above example, when the user selects Sept 2019 from the month dropdown, it would be nice if the startDate and endDate parameters would automatically change to 2019-09-01 and 2019-09-30, respectively.

Is there a way to do this within QuickSight? Or if not, can anyone suggest any helpful workarounds for my described problem?

I greatly appreciate it!

Parameter Sync is not there in QuickSight.I couldn't find any workaround on this one particular thing you wanted for date filters. perhaps quicksight product team might confirm when they think release this feature.

Not sure when this feature was added, but it looks possible. If you click to edit the control, you can go to the bottom and click "Change Relevant Values". This will bring up the list of controls and you can click the ones you want to relate to each other:

See number 6 here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-controls.html
