Notes on Filtering

Add a Filter to Control All Cities on Worksheet

Filters on Dashboards
When we click through a filter, we see that by default, it only applies to the view it came
out with. If we want to make this filter apply to more of the dashboard.

–We simply click on the filter (down triangle icon), open the menu, and under Apply to Worksheets, select “all related data sources”
Now when we make a selection, it applies to the whole dashboard,

Similarly, we can make a view act as a filter for the dashboard. Click on the view to bring
up the header bar, and click the filter icon. Now if we select a header such as Second
Class, all the relevant views are filtered.
