I need to change the slider value using WebAPI. I know it is feasible using IronPython but wondering if using WebAPI it is feasible as well.

I use Google Sheets API from googleapis to get a spreadsheet and its charts. So I have ChartSpec. How can be this spec used to visualize the chart in a web application, e.g. using Visualization API?
Use case
A simple web app written in HTML and JS which shows all charts from an arbitrary spreadsheet. In the ideal scenario, the charts are rendered just like in spreadsheets, so I can see the charts without the necessity to open a spreadsheet manually.
A user selects a spreadsheet from a list of predefined spreadsheets (menu)
Web app requests up-to-date data for the selected spreadsheet from Node.js backend
Node.js app gets all charts in the spreadsheet using Google Sheets API
Node.js app responds with necessary data
Web app visualizes the charts that should ideally be interactive (eg. using Visualization API)
Problem
I have a trouble with steps 4 and 5. In step 3 I receive ChartSpec which seems to contain all information but data. Instead of data, there are just references to ranges in a form of ChartData object.
Creating a custom implementation which gets all referenced data seems extremely complicated. Even if I created it on my own, I do not know how to create visualizations in step 5.
What I found and why it is not solution for me? There are similar questions and solutions that use Visualization API to query data from a spreadsheet and the visualize it, such as this answer. Why is this not solution for me? Because my spreadsheets are created by non-tech people who do not follow any good practices, so data cannot be easily queried using Query API. The spreadsheets are a mess. The charts are created by the same folks and they want to customize it by themselves. What I need is to show already existing charts without necessity to make any chart-wise code.
The only solution I came up with so far is to use the Chart Editor and allow the user to set up the chart himself. I would be interested in investing in such a solution or working on it together.
We have created Azure Dashboard with custom KQL queries with 5 tiles and we want to send a OPERATION ID from one page to this Dashboard page and we want all tiles to consume this PARAMETER in the query.
Is it possible to send a global query parameter and get it used by all the tiles on the Dashboard? Also is it possible to control the COLORS on the Charts rendered in these tiles on the dashboard? Can we change the colours of this pie chart rendered or that is not possible?
Any help
Thank you
Unfortunately this is not supported out of the box with Azure Dashboards and don't anticipate it being either, there is a feature request but doesn't have many votes and no traction.

The best option if you wanted rich charting like this is to go towards Power BI

So, I'm working on developing some business apps for my organization, and I've been trying to implement the usage of the Navision Web Api for external reporting. And Unfortunately, I'm stuck using Excel because of traditional antiquated business practices.
My question - is there any way to drill-down to single values or even access the json payload through excel's web services function. I've tried switching the payload to XML on OData v4, but I can't get that to work. This is driving me insane - I cant even think about another Pivot table via odbc sql, or Odata, because I know there's a better way. I'm pretty good with PowerShell, javascript, html etc.. but Im almost clueless when it comes to VBA, and it just seems like to much suffering. Anywho, if I cant use the OData feed in the web services function - well why? Is Microsoft just trying to screw us? I keep getting a value error - naturally - because I cant drill down to a single value, format to xml, or access the json object within the web services function(if it even exists in there??) here's a link to what im looking to do Excel Services function Demo- except I cant do it - so is there any substitute or solution.
So, stop whining and use power query to fetch data from Nav’s OData endpoint.
I have a requirement where the marker points(graphics) on the esri map should be a dynamic pie chart with a data set of its own.
Is this possible using ArcGIS javascript API?
It kind of depends, how you want to use it. If you just want to visualize the points as Charts, the most simplest way is to create the symbology in ArcMap and host its as a map service. According to the supported functionality for ArcGIS Server. Charts are also supported.
If you cannot create a service, and would want to create charts runtime in Javascript. Then the only option would be to create the charts as images and add the Point on map with PictureMarkerSymbol.
I have created an Xpage with only one element, a JSON Rest service that points to a view (I guess I should probably put this in a CC).
I want to build another Xpage with a CC that contains a CC that contains a Dojo Data Grid that points to this rest service.
How can I do that? It seems to me that I should separate out my calls to the data from the interface. I am surprised that this is not easier to do.
As Knut mentioned, the xp:include tag (the Include Page control) seems to be the easiest solution.
You don't have to move the REST service to a custom control, though. You can just include the page with the REST service on the same page that contains your grid custom control (or on the grid custom control itself).
Then, in the grid's storeComponentId property of the grid control, you can specify the ID of the REST service and the server will be able to resolve it.
Put your REST service in a CC and include it into your Dojo Data Grid control XPages/CC.
<xp:include
id="restService"
pageName="restServiceCC.xsp" />
Don't forget to add ".xsp" to the name of your CC.
Update
To use include is the (only) way to separate the Dojo Data Grid control and the REST service in separate XPages/CC as you asked in your question.
As REST services can be separate design elements this way you can define all REST services in a template database and let the applications inherit from there. REST services itself can provide data from any database/view.
The Dojo Data Grid control is the easiest way to include Data Grids to your applications but it needs the REST service to be in the database itself.
As an alternative you can use a "pure" Data Grid based on client side JavaScript. Data Grids get their data usually from an URL per Ajax. This would give you the possibility to put all REST services in one database. You have much more flexibility with this approach than using the Dojo Data Grid control. But, be aware that it needs some days to get into it. I use the free jqGrid based on jQuery as the "pure" Data Grid. You can find more information about it in my presentation at EntwicklerCamp 2014 (sorry, its in German - Google translator is your friend) including a comparison with Dojo Data Grid and ExtJs Grid.
