I am building a weather station Dashboard which contains a map with external links to a variety of different weather stations from various sources. Each station has a unique combination of variables such as precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, etc.

I built the main table which contains a column for each weather variable and then assigned TRUE or FALSE for each variable at each station.

For example, Station 1 has only wind + temperature, Station 2 has precipitation + temp + RH, Station 3 has only wind + RH.

I would like to add a selector to my Dashboard which would allow me to only show the weather stations with a specific variable (or ideally select multiple variables) so that if I selected Wind, it would only show Station 1 and 3 from the example above.

Any help with the Dashboard settings or advise on changing the structure of my table would be very appreciated.

Hi,

I think the structure of your data is fine as it gives you the granularity you would need to chain multiple selectors and filter down to the specific data you're interested in! Probably the best way to do this is to add multiple "Category" selectors (one for each variable) set to "Grouped" values and pointing to the respective fields you're wanting to filter by, so one Wind selector pointed at the "Wind" field etc.. With the grouped values this will a drop down where you can choose "True" or "False" and it will filter the rest of the data in your dashboard, once you've configured that in the "Actions" portion of the selector setup.
