In a single dashboard i have a table and to its right is time series panel:

Both panels show the same thing just in a different format.

I want to add a custom button which would allow to show and hide the time series panel whenever that button is clicked.

I tried some repeat panel stuff, didnt work, then i downloaded Business Text pluging from volkov labs but it turns out that plugin insists on querying datasource.

I dont need to query anything - just toggle the button on and off in order to show and hide a single panel.

How to achieve this? What plugin to install?

you would have to use the business chart plugin and do something like the following. but with this solution you cannot use the grafana stock time series
