Single filter for multiple metrics

Q&A

Hello team,

I was wondering if it’s possible to filter for multiple metrics using a single filter?

The example is:

  • 3 metrics (A, B, C) representing different metrics, but have common values across
  • Current approach: utilizing OR in the filters, to ensure that if the value meets one of these 3 metrics, it would show in my dashboard
  • Concern: I have to apply the (exactly same) value to all 3 filters
  • Desired result is:
    • one single filter that could be listed as a filter to the top of the dashboard, and when clicking on the dropdown, is shows all distinct values from metrics A, B and C
    • that allows the filtering across all 3 metrics:
      • if it’s in A or B, or C

Thanks,

Irina

Hi @irinaaaaa,

I’m not sure how many values you have in each of your 3 options so this could be a bit tedious but there is one work around I would suggest; it sounds like you’d want the ability to select multiple values, I haven’t tested this out on a multi-value parameter but the logic should be applicable:

Create a parameter and for the control, use custom values. Add in the values from each of your 3 fields so that you have a combined list.
Then setup 3 filters on your visual (one for each metric) and setup to equal or contain your parameter value.

Hi @Brett,

Much appreciated for your guidance. But do you have a tutorial or anything similar, visually, by any chance? So that I can follow along to try to mimic?

Thanks,

Irina

Hi @irinaaaaa,

If you’re able to create a sample in Arena viewwith anonymized data, I can help with testing out; I would need some type of idea of what your values are within the metrics to present a more firm solution.
