What is a Parameter?

  • A parameter is like a placeholder in your logic
  • It gets filled in by the user during interaction

Input examples:

  • A number they enter to set a goal
  • A selection from a dropdown to choose a category

 

In Sigma:

  • Once the user makes a choice, Sigma uses that value
  • It works in calculations or filters just like any other field in your workbook

Parameters in Sigma

  • In Sigma, parameters are actually control elements
  • Each control element has a unique control ID

How it works:

  • Use the control ID in a calculation to reference user input
  • This makes your analysis dynamic and responsive to users
  • Avoids hardcoded values in logic

Design flexibility:

  • Many control types:

    • Dropdowns
    • Input fields
    • Switches
    • Other interactive components
