How to use this validation rule?
In a
pie chart
This visual only requires a column_name to display statistics.
In the validation rule cell, the requirement is to put this column_name between parentheses.
Example: (column_name)
In a
line chart
This visual requires the use of x and y in order to display statistics.
Optionally, you may add a min, max and/or target as limits to add more insight to the visual. These limits can come from either a field outside of a table or a column within the same table as the x and y values.
Visually, the min, max and target will be a broken line to
In the validation rule cell, the requirement is to put the required values, and optionally the limits, between parentheses.
Examples:
(x: column_nameA y: column_nameB)
(x: column_nameA y: column_nameB min: min_field max: max_field)
(x: column_nameA y: column_nameB min: min_field max: max_field target: target_field)
(x: column_nameA y: column_nameB target: target_field)
(x: column_nameA y: column_nameB min: min_field target: target_field)
