Hi Jon
I have a question about my dashboard for witch I already had help during previous Q&A.
In my dashboard I’m using a Timeline (filter) because my data has to show a situation per month since 2019. For the different data visualizations in the dashboard I’m using primarily pivot tables and pivot charts. Due to the restrictions of pivot charts however (for example not having the possibility to add other data from outside the pivot table in the pivot chart), I’m thinking of replacing my pivot tables by the new GROUPBY function. I’m starting to get the know this function and also know the workaround for adding slicers to interact with this new function.
My question: is there a possibility to also add a Timeline that interacts with these GROUPBY functions? Or is there a good alternative for the Timeline?
I don’t want to make all the replacements now and learn afterwards that the Timeline is not ‘compatible’ with GROUPBY.
