How to group various fields to create custom filter

Hi All,

Is there a way to group various fields to create a custom filter? It would basically be like a folder creating a group of fields. For example, I have a list of custom Filters here like 'Load', 'Stop', 'Origin', etc. which in turn contain various other fields within them for filtering like 'Load' contains 'Loadnum', 'Load Status', 'Mode Description', etc. Similarly follow other screenshot for 'Stop'. 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Anonymous 
    How about you use the slicer and put multiple columns in it as below screenshot.

    It will appear as multidrop down.

      Hi Anonymous, 

      Thanks for reverting, but it will be a visualization. I require to have this within the "Filters" panel. Is grouping of fields possible to achieve under Filters?

        As far as I know, there is no such feature for the time being.

    Can't you just make a table of all the filters with a second column that has the grouping defined? Then you can create relationships and select by group (Load, etc).

     

    Maybe I am missing the desired intent.
