UI for filtering CSV data by column

[kring]

Add UI controls to the Now Viewing tab to allow the user to filter the data in a CSV file. For example, if one column in the CSV file is Year, the UI might allow the user to only show the points/regions where the Year is within a specified range. For numeric values, a double-sided slider is probably a good choice. For enums, checkboxes like the ones we see with ABS datasets could work.

This is related to our GovHack2014 project.

Related to #1209?

Came up as a requirement for ParlMap. They want to be able to filter a national dataset on a specific electorate (assuming that column exists), so that the color range is bounded to just that electorate. (Currently you often don't see much or any variation within a single electorate.)

Search by electorate came up as a requirement by AREMI Steering Committee and ARENA.

Ok, what do you mean by "search by electorate" though. There are potentially three different things:

• search for an electorate name and zoom to it
• filter CSV data based on a column in that data (this issue)
• filter/restrict data based on a geospatial boundary such as an electorate which isn't in that data

[AnaBelgun]

I forgot now the initial discussion with ARENA, but I think they wanted to be able to search for an electorate name and zoom into it and also search/filter data based on a geospatial boundary, such as electorate.

So, I guess my comment doesn't belong to this particular issue, although it would be very useful for AREMI to filter csv data based on a column in that data, such as electorate

Allan Barger is keen for this too. Eg. for transaction data aggregated over quarters, where we no longer have the exact date of the transaction.
