Navigate from Analysis to Analysis using Action Link with parameters?
Summary
Navigate from Analysis to another Analysis using Action Link (Navigate to BI Content) with parameters?
Content
Has anyone been able to use an Action Link with parameters to navigate between Analyses?
I have a dashboard that displays an Analysis in the form of a bar chart. There is an Action Link associated to each bar in the chart that links through "Navigate to BI Content" to another Analysis. What I would like to do, but don't know how, is to pass the value (axis value) of the bar selected to the called Analysis so that it can be used as a filter.
Example:
Data:
Category, Sub-Category, Count
A, 1, 2
A, 2, 1
A, 3, 2
B, 1, 1
B, 2, 4
C, 1, 2
C, 2, 3
C, 3, 4
Bar chart shows the sum counts for categories A, B and C. So three bars one for each category. The user selects the bar for category A and then selects the Action Link button to navigate to the other Analysis. The linked to Analysis then uses the category ("A") as a filter to show another bar chart that displays the category separated by sub-categories 1, 2 and 3.

What is the Action Link set on. the Dimension or the Measure?
Does your target analysis have a filter for the Dim (Category) you are wanting to pass from dashboard?
if action-link is on Measure then the context will pass to the target

Thank you W Vansluys !
Setting the Action on the Measure on the calling Analysis and adding prompted filters to the called Analysis worked!
In order to display the filter values used I'm using Graph Prompts. Do you know if there is a way to add those values to the chart heading instead?
For example, in your example above, changing "Count" to "B Count".

Move Category to Section for Graph

This can be accomplished by leveraging a Presentation Variable. Set the Presentation Variable then edit the title to be @{PRESENTATION_VARIABLE}, which will update whenever the Presentation Variable is set.
