How to disable connection between filter

Is it possible to disable the connection between to filters?

Usually when I select from one filter the corresponding answers in another filter will be shown and the answer which is not corresponding will be shown in grey like this:

I don't want them suppressed at all.

How do I do that?

Hi

Are the fields in the same table?

You have to rebuild your data model, or use set analysis to make your measures independend of such a selection.

You can create data islands. As the name says it is a field disconnected from the others so when you select one filter the data island will not be affected.

Or you can use set analysis like this:

Imagine 2 linked fields, Country and Revenue. When i select 1 contry only 1 revenue is shown (just like in you case). To make all Revenues able to be shown i will use this set analysis in the objects that i want (obviusly i will have to use some calculation like sum, average...):

  {$<Country=>}

This makes the selection of country to not affect the object.

Havn't this done the trick?

Hi Kenneth - I see you are new to Qlik - so some of these responses might be a bit daunting. Our Qlik Community is great, but may forget to look at the users level number and may assume the common Qlik language is understood.

You have a couple of good suggestions here - please advise if you need clarity on them.

In short what you are experiencing is part of our associative technology - which automatically displays related and unrelated values using the color scheme green, white and shades of grey - if you want to learn more you can read this post here: The Associative Difference

Now in regards to your questions:

The values that show up in gray - are not related to the current selections.

  • Do you not want them to appear in gray?
  • Would you rather have them removed from the list?

If you can described your use case a bit better - we can propose perhaps better ideas.

Re:

Set Analysis is an expression syntax that can restrict measures uses in visualizations to a sub-set of data that you define - there is an option to ignore any selections - so the visualization's measure displays only that measure even where someone selects values from list boxes and charts - it is very powerful expression and can be used for a number of things. There are some beginner videos on the topic here:

If you have time, I suggest you take a moment to review them.

When applicable please mark the appropriate replies as CORRECT.

Hi Mike,

I have no problems dealing with set analysis in this case.

I have one table, But I need to use one filter for one part of the table and another filter for another part. Which means I don't want the selection from one filter to affect between the two filters.
