Question & Answer

I have a complicated filter on one of my visuals, I need a second filter so that I can quickly ensure that all of the Suppliers are present. when I try to add the filter to "Some Visuals’ or “All Visuals of this Dataset” - nothing happens when I try to “Apply”

Hey @kawind !

I might need more context to help with this one. Do any of those filters or target visuals rely on parameters or calculated fields, and if so how are they set up? Also, what is the expected outcome when you hit Apply or when you hit Apply is Quicksight not reacting at all as if there is a bug or something wrong with the UI?

Hey @kawind !

Are you able to follow up on the questions I have above or were you able to find a solution for this problem?

I still cannot get this to work, have a lot of calculated fields, my guess is that is why

Hey @kawind !

Are you able to show an anonymized view of the filter that you made? I’m not sure that the amount of calculated fields you have will affect whether the you can apply the filter to your target visual.

What do you mean anonymized?

“apply” doesnt respond at all

Hey @kawind, what I mean is when you share a photo of you analysis that you don’t share any proprietary information from your company.

If you think it might be the calculated fields, have you tried removing any to see if the filter works then? Again, with more context of how you built the filter and parameters it would be easier to see what might be happening.

That being said, if you continue to see this issue while removing calculated fields you could create a support ticket. Here are the steps to create an AWS support ticket.

Hi Kimberly @kawind ,

Checked the behavior of Apply button in above mentioned screen at my end and see that it is working correctly.
If you are still having issues with this, I would recommend filing a case with AWS Support where we can dive into the details so that we can help you further. Here are the steps to open a support case. If your company has someone who manages your AWS account, you might not have direct access to AWS Support and will need to raise an internal ticket to your IT team or whomever manages your AWS account. They should be able to open an AWS Support case on your behalf. Hope this helps!
I’m archiving this post now.
