Using list box filters
The list box filter is used to select a few values from a very long list of values present in the data column.
About this task
You select the values you want to keep, meaning that only rows with these values remain in the visualization. The list box filter also includes the (All) option. Selecting (All) means that no values are filtered out.
Tip: You can
decide whether the (All) option should be visible. Right-click the filter, and
use the Include (All) as option setting.
It is possible to search for values. Type a text string in the field above the list. Various search rules are described in Using text filters.
Procedure
Select values in the list by clicking them.
- To select a consecutive group of values, click the first value, press Shift, and then click the last value.
- To select non-consecutive values, press Ctrl, and then click each separate value.
Showing number of filtered values
The grey indicator on the right hand side of the filter shows where
your selected values are located in the whole list. If you hover with the
cursor over the indicator, a tooltip is displayed that shows how many values
have been chosen in the list.
