Create a Filter

To create a filter:

Select the data item that you want to use as the base of the filter. You can select any data item, regardless of whether it is assigned to the current visualization.
For a local filter, either right-click the data item and select Add as local filter, or drag the data item onto the Local Filters area of the Filters tab.

For a global filter that is applied to all of your visualizations, either right-click the data item and select Add as global filter or drag the data item to the Global Filters area of the Filters tab.
Set the parameters for your filter. You can either create a basic filter by using visual controls or create an advanced filter by using the Edit Filter window.

Note: By default, your filter changes are applied automatically to the active visualization. To apply multiple changes together, deselect Auto and then click Apply when you are ready to apply your filter changes.
