Decomposition tree filter

Hi,

I am working with "Decomposition Tree". I know that if I click on another visual that the decomposition tree is automatically filtered. But I don´t know how to filter a table or another visual by clicking on decomposition tree branch.

Is it possible?

 

Thanks in advance

yes, it seems like filtering to other visual doesn work if you choose not the last level of Tree. Bet, if you click on Resolution, your matrix will be filtered

Hi @Ley ,

 

Based on my test, I cannot reproduce your issue here. Please set the relationship to both instead of single.

I have the same issue. The Decomposition tree is a chain of filters (first filter on x, then, y, then z), but cross filtering doesn't preserve this filter chain, it just filters other vizualizations by a single selected dimension. 

 

For example, if you had an organization made of of Employees and Contractors working in Departments and you wanted to cross filter some table to show employee details. 

#Employees    -> Employee 

                       -> Contractor   ->  Department 1

                                                - >  Department 2 

 

Clicking on Department 1 will corss filter other vizualizations by "Department 1" but not by "Contractor" & "Department 1". 

 

This isn't expected behavor.

if you have appropriate relationship it should work without any additional actions

All relationships are correctly created , but it does not work. Imagen1.png

 

On the Tree Format, is the default action set to "Filter / highlight"? If not, give it a try.
