    Hi Atlsql,

     

    Per my understanding, the Values section of the Chicklet visual is used to keep the mapping relationship between Chicklet slicer and other visual. 

     

    Adding field into Values secontion enables cross filtering between slicer and visual. Otherwise, you can still filter visual based on slicer selection, but you are unable to filter slicer by clicking any bar in visual (suppose it's a bar chart visual).

     

    If you want the Filters to be based on text or images, you have to add field into Values section.

     

    You can refer to this video to get more detailed description.
