separating charts from filters

jalanhart — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 18:05:29 GMT

For those that have developed in Microsoft Power BI, there is an awesome little trick where when you are building a chart, you can toggle a little eyeball icon which removes the association, meaning that that visual will stay independent of everything else across the whole app. I know you can play with modeling and maybe expressions but is there a similar feature i've been missing somewhere?

Hi,
I don't have much knowledge with power bi, but based on the context you mentioned, I believe that the possibility is alternative states.

See qlik help to understand, you can also search the topic on qlik Community, you will find great cases that can help you.

The easiest way and least impactful is to use set analysis to ignore selections. The alternative is to create an alternate state in your app and assign your chart to that state.

The reason that expressions are least impactful is that Qlik is always clickable and users will be able to select dimensions in your "Static" chart and the expression approach will allow those selections to filter through to the rest of the app instead of creating two sets of selections to keep track of.

thanks Chris,

is there an all encompassing set analysis expression you can use? I think I've done some before where I excluded a field or two but I've had a couple requests to have a graph not be able to change AT ALL.

if your case is to ignore any field that is filtered then maybe like:

sum({1} value)
