You can use interactive filters for charts and tables if the relevant filter conditions have been defined for these widgets. You can set a filter by clicking a data element of a widget, for example, a data point in a line chart. The selected data element of this widget takes effect as a filter for all associated widgets.
Multiple selection
Some widgets allow you to select multiple values at the same time to filter other widgets. You can select, for example, multiple rows in a table or multiple data points in a chart. Multiple selection is available if the corresponding Multiple selection option is enabled for a widget. The widgets providing the Multiple selection option are Column chart, Bar chart, Pie chart, Grid, and List. The widget to be filtered must also support multiple selection. For details, see the chapter Define filters for widgets.
Distribution charts
In distribution charts, you can select multiple values using a selection frame by default. If you select a range of values using a selection frame, the upper end of the rage is not included in the selection for filtering. For example, if you select a range from 10 to 20 and the step width is 1, the affected widget is filtered with the values 10 to 19.
