Use Multiple Word Clouds as Slicers to filter results

[animishgautam]

I have multiple word clouds in my report which I want to use as slicers to filter a result table.

Currently, if I make a selection in one word cloud it updates the remaining but when I make a selection in another it updates and removes the selection from the previous word cloud.

What I want to do is if I select a word in one word cloud it remains selected when I select a word in another word cloud so that my result table is a combination of both. Note that, I do not want to combine the word clouds as they represent different data.

Appreciate the help.

Hi @animishgautam

I'm afraid i cannot fully understand it without any data sample. Could you provide some data sample and expected output? You can provide some picture or upload the file to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Find some posts for your reference.

Sample image of the report

So, I have the above 4 word clouds and I want to select 1 or more words from each of them which filters out the result in Report Location and Reports. Let me know if this helps you to understand my question better.

For example, I want filtered result for the following selection: 'e commerce AND credit AND millennials AND china'

@animishgautam did you try to use ctrl + click, it will allow selection from multiple visuals.

@parry2k I did try that but unfortunately, it doesn't work on different visuals. It only works within the same word cloud.

Hi @animishgautam

Based on my test, I'm afraid there is no better way to do that.
