Hi,

I am trying to filter a visual by a different level than what is being displayed.  For example:

I have a bar chart which shows total population for all US states.

But I actually only want to include population numbers for those states which have cities that have a population of at least 500.

Also please note that I am using a live connection so I am unable to access the query editor.

Thanks!

I don't think this will work... row context isn't granular enough.

@Anonymous how does your data looks like? Solution will depend on it. is population by city already in the dataset or it is a calculated measure?

I have population and city on a row basis.  It's not yet grouped in the dataset.  I believe population is a column, not a measure.
