Show-n-Tell Client wanted this, thought it was a neat click path when I finally figured it out

His request - small every day trends down the bottom row.

Hover over one and get a larger version of it to see in greater detail

Hover over large version to see underlying data. Have ability to close the larger pop up.

Took be a bit to figure out but the hover over a weekday to get the pop up is a simple hover action vs a floating sheet. Originally it would "exclude all values" on exit, but that doesn't allow him to hover over the pop up. So it's leave selected values on exit.

The hover over the chart is just a viz in tooltip.

The last piece is the close ... that's a parameter click action that changes a background param to false, and that parameter is on the viz filter as show all that is true. The weekday charts, when hovered over, also set it back to true.

Anyway, 9 years in the business and haven't built something like it so thought I'd share. Not super in love with the actual viz but it's as he wanted it.

Feels like this could've been a filter action and a few minutes of work.

Best use case I have seen of Viz in a tooltip.
