Can Page filter change overwrite visual filter?

[JaredJi]

Hi there,

I'm quiet new to the platform..

I have page filter 'date' in my dashboard. When I want to look at the past performence of the dashboard and change the page filter, the visual filter won't change according to the page filter. I wonder there is a way that change of a page filter could also impact current visual filter based on the relationship of the data.

Note that the dashboard is showing monthly data by default.

As the screenshot shown above, I change the page filter but the visual filter stay the same and the dashboard won't show past data due to the conflict.

Here is the relationship.

Hi @JaredJi ,

You may need to look carefully at your data changes again.

Please see this simple example.

In the visual-level filters, "a" and "b" are selected.

If we select "c" in the page-level filters, the visual will show blank.(Because the filtering level of page-level filters is greater than that of visual-level filters.)

If we select  only "b" in the page-level filters, the visual will show "b".

The visual-level filters won't change, but the data in the visual has actually changed.

If we clear the filters in the visual-level filters at this time, you will find that only "c" is left in it.

@JaredJi , if page filter is a smaller range, that should filter

Yeah but what if I want the page filter go beyond the visual filter. I tried that and the dashboard doesn't return the past data beyond the visual filter, e.g.. in my case It only shows the data from 01/03/2022 onward.
