Filter a dimension in a scatter chart when a selection is made

I have a scatter chart which uses countries as dimension, then I have Products sold in these countries and I want to show only certain group of countries when the users filters one particular product.

Something like:

Full list of countries:  a,b,c,d,e,f,g

Full list of products: 1,2,3,4

So I want to show these countries depending on the chosen product:

Product:1, countries: a,d,e

Product:2, countries: a,b,c

Product:3, countries: d,f,g

Product:4, countries: c,d,e

No product selected, countries: show all

Any ideas?

I think this might be easier if you load this predefined list as a table in your script

Table:
LOAD * INLINE [
    Product, PreferredCountry
    Product1, a
    Product1, b
    Product1, c
    Product2, b
    Product2, x
    Product2, z
    Product3, b
    Product3, d
    Product3, e
    Product3, f
    Product3, m
    Product3, p
    Product3, r
    Product3, s
    Product4, a
    Product4, c
    Product4, l
    Product4, o
    Product4, s
    Product4, u
    Product4, v
];

Where Product field should be connected to your Product field from your other table. and then an expression like this

If(GetSelectedCount(Product) = 0,
  Sum(Measure),
  Sum({<Country = p(PreferredCountry)>}Measure)
)

This should be the default behavior within QlikView.... is it not? What do you see when you see Product 1 for example?

Hi Sunny, thanks for you answer

Maybe I need to elaborate a little more to make myself clear.

Going back to my example, let's say Product A is sold in 20 countries.  So when I filter by Product A I will see 20 countries (bubbles) in the plot, that it is what I think you refer as "default behaviour".  Since some of them make a very little contribution (let's say the bubble size is $$ of sales) I do not want to show them so I want to see 8 hand-picked countries out of the 20 that the dimension should be showing

This is what I have for one particular Product:

I do not want to see that long list of countries but 8 predefined countries (the same for all products, a predefined list out of the total list)

This is how it should look:

Do you want to see top 8 countries? or do you want to always see the same 8 countries regardless of which product you select?

A custom list of countries depending on the product I select.  If I have 20 countries in total each product should have their own list of these countries.

For example:

Product1: countries a,b,c

Product2: countries b,x,z

Product3: countries b,d,e,f,m,p,r,s 

Product4: countries a, c, l, o, s, u, v

Every Product will have a predefined list of countries to be shown. 

No product or more than one product selected: show all countries

One product selected: show the predefined list of countries for that product

Thanks Sunny,  the way to structure the INLINE table + the use of p() in the set analysis expression did the trick!
