Tableau: toggle between charts

If you need to toggle between charts you have to:
- create a sheet for each chart
- create 1 string list parameter, which you place on each sheet, display parameter
- create a calculated field referencing the parameter
- add the calculated field as a filter on each sheet (and verify that only the value selected in the parameter on the sheet is selected)
- create dashboard and place all sheets floating and aligned over each other, display the parameter window and select a value, you’ll notice that the charts will toggle.
