Tagging / grouping data in table visuals?

Hello I have a question and hopefully this community has a solution. My data model consist of like 5-7 tables imported in from an oracle database, all which have been related with an unique identif...

    So, what I would do in your case would be to have a Categorystring slicer that does not filter Table A but filters table B and and your other plotting visual. If you go into the format painter on the slicer and turn off Single Select it will probably be a better experience. Basically that allows you to not have to hold down Ctrl when doing multiple select.

     

    Perhaps not as intuitive or not what you are used to in Tibco but should get the same result.

OK, bear with me, it may be because it is late or my unfamiliarity with the subject matter here.

 

So, in the example below, would you be trying to create a group of wells that only haveing casings with strings of:

 

Casingstring1

Casingstring2

Casingstring3

 

But no other casingstring types. Or, are you going after all wells with Casingstring1 and Casingstring2. Or something else?

That is correct, I would like to “tag” the wells that have three casing strings and only plot those wells on a visual to show KPIs.

Maybe there is a way to have a user entry in the data table so then I can individually flag the wells then filter out later on.

Thanks for the help

      Thanks for the help I think you are referring to “attributeslicer”. This app basically allows me to filter the wells separately and then once I assign a “tag” to all of the wells, I can toggle between my original time slicer to my new attribute slicer to visually plot the results. It is a little cumbersome, having to shuffle through each line item but it got the job down.

      It would be really great if a)I could assign a “tag” within the original table without the need of a second slicher or b) have the ability to select multiple rows prior to assigning a filter.
