Finding filter database location

Hello all,

 

I have a filter on a page that I want to turn into a filter on the whole dashbord. Since I cannot click and drag the filter, I have to find it in my data pane. My problem is that I am working with a very large database with lots of tables that are named in similar ways.

 

Is there a way to find out where the filter on a page is coming from? Or is there a way to make a filter change from 'on this page' to 'on all pages'?

 

Thanks!

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

if you hover over the column name in question at the page level section, the table name/column name appears:

This helps to identify the table and the column name.

 

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

 

Regards,

Tom
