Calculated card label based on filters

[BruceAnderson]

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?

Did you add the card to the dashboard before or after applying filters in the report?

[BruceAnderson]

Thank 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.

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.

Just reporting back, once I disabled the cards from the dashboards, and re-pinned them, the filters are now working without issue.
