Displaying text instead of visualization if multiple values are selected

Hello,

 

Is there a way to display a text "Select one value" instead of a visualization if multiple values are selected? There's an easy way to do this with a seperate card to display the text but then the visualization still appears and the data on it is not relevant.

 

I would like to show the status of one machine on a timeline and if multiple dates or multiple machines are selected I would like to show a text "Select a machine and a date".

Hi @TomiKasurinen ,

 

The easiest way is to turn on "Single select" under the "Selection controls" field.
