Turn off cross filtering on a custom filter

[Mark123123]

I'm having a problem with cross-filtering not working how I need it.

Looking at the example above. I have two plots. They have both a custom filter in place. The left plot has 'type is A'. The right plot has 'type is B'
I've also highlighted a column in the left plot. Now it is applying its filter to the right plot.
We have the 'X_A is A4' filter. That's fine, I want that.
But we're also applying the left plot's type filter too. So the right plot now has 'type is B' and 'type is A'. I want it to remain just 'type is B'.
Is there a way I can edit the interaction so I'm not also applying that extra filter on type? I don't want to turn off the cross-filtering entirely, but as far as I can tell, it's all-or-nothing using edit interactions.

Thanks

Hi @Mark123123 

@MFelix Thank you very much for your timely reply. Please allow me to add something here.

You don't want to have A "type is A" filter in the visual on the right, here's a way to do it:

Click to select A slicer. In the format TAB, click "Edit Interactions".

Click the "None" button in the top right corner of the visual.

Here is the result.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you read the question from @Mark123123  you will see that one of is point is that he does not want to turn off the cross filtering, so your answer is not fulling is needs.

Hi @MFelix 

Thank you for reading.

I think @Mark123123  problem is that he doesn't want the "type is A" filter on the visuals on the right.

In this way, the cross-filtering relationship between the two graphs still exists and conforms to the fact that A does not filter B, while not affecting other filtering relationships between them.

That's was exactly what I wrote in my answer.

Hi @Mark123123 ,

The idea behind cross filtering is to get a subset of the values based on the selection on the ohter visual so it makes sense that the filter is presented when you use it, since the context from the other visual is getting picked-up to do additional filters.

However and to what I can understand althoug it appears in the filter pane it's not applied since you force the values to be from B correct?

This is a visual option that you cannot edit also, the only option is to turn off the filter icon from your header if you don't want to present it.
