Filtering Using Hide Selection
One of the methods to apply a global filter is to hide (exclude) the selected range from a chart. If other plotted charts have values dependent on the selected range, such charts are also filtered.
The Hide selection action (in the Creating Filters pane) is grayed out until you select a region in a chart using the Box Select function.
- On the Creating Filters pane, click Hide selection.
If applied, it works in the same manner as described for the Hide selected action in the Measurement Explorer pane.
Notice that the expression for the filter appears under the Global Filters area of the Measurement Explorer, which indicates that the values of sepal_length from 6.2 to 7.625 were excluded and that range has been used as a filter across all charts.
- Optionally, you may perform the Show only selection action or apply custom filter to one or more charts. See Filtering Using Show Only Selection and Defining Custom Filters, respectively.
- At any point, if you use the Clear selection action, it does not remove the filter from the charts.
- To remove the filter, click the
against one or more expressions that are displayed in the Global Filters area.
