Helper IICalculated card label based on filters
I am using the card report (I love simplicity) quite a lot. I have noticed though, on the dashboard, the amount shown is incorrect. If I click on it, then it shows the right amount. It is as if filters are being ignored. Also, on the mobile app, it is incorrect even if clicked. Is this a known bug?
Dashboard tiles are a snapshot of the visual at the time of pinning. This is by design. One use case I often find when building reports for our clients is to create a visual, then pin that visual with several filter contexts to a dashboard.
An interactive report needs a visual and a filter or slicer. A dashboard, without that seamless interactivity, must include several similar copies for major filter categories.

Did you add the card to the dashboard before or after applying filters in the report?
BruceAndersonThank you for the response. Good question, probably before I applied filters. So I have just tried removing and re-adding to the dashboard and will see if it keeps the filters.
