Options “Select Alternative” and “Select Excluded” are not functional within visual objects like Straight Tables, Pivot Tables, or Charts.

Can anyone share, if any other alternative option or work around to achieve this.

I think it are field-features and not related to any conditions and/or relations within the chart.

Like hinted it's working like designed - being a field-filter against the set selection state with no relation to the chart.

If you want to revers the chart-view - which seems to have any conditions which are adjusting the selection state - you need to implement an appropriate logic within the chart. This might be a doubling of the expressions and applying conditions to their visibility or to revers the query-direction of a set analysis from something like:

{< Field = {'a', 'b', 'c'}>}

to:

{< Field -= {'a', 'b', 'c'}>}

All of such measurements will need some efforts and increasing the complexity. Therefore simpler default-views in which the user directly selects what's wanted may more suitable.

Hi @nidheesh

those function same way in current selection box, filter pane as well as tables or any other object for that matter.

It is not object related feature it is field selection state feature which is the same regardles of the object used.
