Alternative dimensions and measures are dimensions and measures that are available, but not currently used in the visualization. Multiple alternative dimensions and measures can be added to the alternative section in the same way as dimensions and measures.
See: Adding a dimension or Adding a measure
You can change the active dimension or measures by dragging an alternative dimension or measure in the properties panel. During analysis, you can switch the dimension and measures in and out directly in the visualization by clicking the axis label.
You might want to add alternative dimensions and measures instead of creating a number of similar charts or to declutter an app.
