Link a Dashboard to another one passing values

Looker Q&A Looker

Hi all!

I have a dashboard with some information on a grid (Project info); my goal is to click on a value in a particular column of the grid (Project ID = 1) and have Looker opening a new tab with the linked dashboard (Project detail), passing that value of that particular column (Project ID = 1) to the target dashboard so that all data has been filtered.

I’m struggling in building a link that I can add to a dimension in my model.

Currently dashboards have no filters.

Can you please help me?

It seems like you’re trying to create a link that opens a new dashboard with filtered data based on a selected value in a column. You can achieve this by using parameter links.

Here’s an example of how you can create a link for your case:

dimension: project_id {
  link: {
    label: "Open Project Detail Dashboard"
    type: url
    url: "https://your-looker-instance.com/dashboards/project_detail?project_id={{ value | url_encode }}"
  }
}

Hi!

Meanwhile I did a lot of tests and my successful result looks like yours!

Here it is:
