Using same filter for multiple visuals

[Anonymous]

Hi

I would like to use the filter setup for multiple Visuals. Is that possible?

I have figured out how to copy a visual such that is gets the same filters. However, if I want to change the filter, I have to change the filter for both Visuals seperately for them to display the same data. Is it possible to set the filter such that it applies to both or multiple Visuals?

Best

Hi, @Anonymous 

You may control the scope of filter by using visual level filter, page level filter, report level filter, edit interaction and so on.

For further information, please refer the following documents.

All very well and good, but what do you do if you have 20 visuals on a page, and only want the filter setup to apply to 10 of them? It is NOT page level, or report level, it is only half the visuals on a page with the identical filters. What then?

This migh be old, but i have been trying to geth this done, and the only work around i could find was to make a slicer on the page, select the filtering and then through Format > Edit Interactions and block the slicers filtering on the necessary visuals. Make the slicer transparent or hidden behind something else for esthetics.

Are you using the Filters panel?  You can add filters to all visuals on the page there, or to all report pages (along with for a given visual).

Hopefully, you are also aware of how to use Edit Interactions to change how visuals interact with each other (e.g., slicers, cross filtering/highlighting).  Please see the link below if not.

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are great too.  Please let me know if it doesn't or if any questions.

Yes, use Page level and/or Report level filters.
