Filtering data using graph column.

Hi there. 

 

I?m actually courious to kown if I can filter data simply selecting a column of a graph. 

 

I have 2 graphs, one with events name in X-axis, and double values:

-Duration of events in columns

-numbers of events in a row.

In the second one, I have the same informations but with weeks in X-axis.

 

Actually, if I select a event in the first graph, this is what happens: as you can see, it actually filter the data but not in the way that I need:

What I need, by selecting a column, is this (in the second graph):

Now i just use a filter view to do the job, but will be easier with column selection.

 

 

Is that possible?

Hi @andreazambon,

 

In your case, the interactions between the visuals are set to highlight. You can use columns as filter by going to Format->Edit Interactions and changing the interaction type to Filter.
