Using Cross Filtering in a Dashboard

Cross-filtering makes it easier and more intuitive for viewers of dashboards to interact with a dashboard's data and understand how one metric affects another. With cross-filtering, viewers can select a data point in one dashboard tile to have all dashboard tiles automatically filter on that value.

For an example, see the Looker topic Cross-filtering dashboards (as this is an external site, so we have no responsibility for the content).

You can implement cross filtering in a dashboard if:

• it includes reports that are based on the same dimension.
• all tiles in the dashboard are created from the same report (explore).

To set up cross filtering for a dashboard:

1. Access the dashboard for edit - for information, see Edit a Dashboard.

2. Click Filters and enable the Cross-filtering option.
