Dynamically Changing Table/Charts in Pentaho

Recently, I came across a problem where I wanted to show multiple charts in a dashboard, but the space should be optimized. There were multiple charts in that dashboard, which were supposed to be placed in a small space.

In this case, showing multiple very small-sized charts is not appropriate.

You will get an idea of how to change the charts dynamically:

1. Passing parameters from a drop-down menu to Pentaho charts/tables.

You have to follow the below-mentioned steps:

Step 1: Create a drop-down menu in Pentaho.

– Write a query for the drop-down menu.

– Add a ‘Select Component’ to the Components.
– Add parameter and listener to the select component.

Step 2: Create a chart.

– Write a query for a chart.

– Add the above-created parameter to the chart query. – Add a ‘CCC Bar chart’, ‘ Pie Chart’, or a ‘table Component’.
– Add parameters and listeners to this chart/table component.

The Chart will change dynamically as per the selection from the drop-down menu.
