Small Multiples affecting separate Line Chart

Hello again! 

I have a line chart this is simply counting widgets on a monthly timeline. 

Then a separate line chart, but using Small Multiples (sub-categories within the widget count). 

 

However, when a user clicks on the heading of a Small Multiple, it acts as a slicer for the first chart (only showing Small Multiple data). 

Why is this, and can it be changed? 

 

Line chart as it should be:

Same Line chart with a Small Multiple title clicked (in this case, 'Near Miss')

Hello @mwjansen 

To disable the interaction between visuals, select the visual with small multiples, then choose "No Interaction" from the "Edit Interaction" options. A demo GIF is attached to illustrate the process.

I feel so low and unsmart ... thanks so much! 

Hey @mwjansen 

Do not be overly critical of yourself. Everyone has been at that stage at some point. I recall spending days resolving issues that now appear trivial. Therefore, maintain your morale and have confidence in yourself. 😊

 

Thanks,

Udit
