Is this possible? For instance, rather than having to add {<[Machine Type]={'Sorter'}>} to every single measure on my "Sorting Machines" sheet, it'd be really convenient to add it once at the sheet level, allowing me to keep my individual measures simple.
I figured out a way to accomplish this via an extension. I'd rather not resort to it though, since this extension-- like many extensions -- seems buggy and -- like all extensions -- takes up space on the sheet and doesn't work in the cloud.
Anyway, here's how to implement it:
Get the SheetEvents extension, which lets you execute actions upon switching to a certain sheet.
Replace the hard-coded filters in each of your measures with a reference to a variable. So instead of {<[Machine Type]={'Sorter'}>}, you'd just have {$(v_sheetFilter)}.
Use SheetEvents to do two actions upon switching to the sheet in question:
Clear selection filters as needed. In this case, I'd clear any filters on [Machine Type].
