Cross-filtering

A published Dashboard cross-filtered by a selected state, with the Filter dashboard by this point menu open on a scatter chart

You can now let viewers filter a Dashboard by clicking its charts. In the dashboard builder, turn on Cross-filtering on the Editing tab of the dashboard options, then publish. A viewer can click a bar, a pie slice, a map region, a table cell, or a point on a line or scatter chart and choose Filter dashboard by this point. Every other chart re-runs with that filter, and the chart they clicked dims the data outside the selection.

Cmd/Ctrl+click adds or removes values, and dragging along a date or numeric axis selects a range. Cross-filters are kept in the URL, so they survive a reload, travel with Copy link, and reach the Dashboard Agent. Cross-filtering works on published Dashboards in Cube and on embedded Dashboards.
