Specify Limit Values for Selection Steps

Configure the Limit Values setting for individual selection steps in a workbook to specify how a selection step gets its selection values.

As with filters in a workbook, the value selections you make for one selection step can impact the values available to select from for other selection steps, depending on the selection step location and the limit values settings. For information about the limit values settings, including the location ranking, see About the Limit Values Settings for Filters.

Selection steps can also be limited by, and can limit, filters that use the same dimension.

The options for the Limit Values setting for selection steps are:

• None – Prevents all other selection steps and filters in the same location from limiting the selection step's values. The selection step's values are still limited by selection steps and filters in higher locations.
• Custom - Lets you choose which selection steps and filters from the same location you want to limit the selection step's values by. Only selection steps and filters from the same hierarchy are available to choose from.

  For a pinned selection step in the filter bar, only other pinned selection steps are available to choose from. It isn't possible to limit a pinned selection step by an unpinned selection step because other canvases in the workbook may not use the unpinned selection step.

  If there's more than one Dashboard Filters visualization on the canvas, dashboard filter controls from all are available to choose from.

If there aren't any other selection steps from the same hierarchy or any filters from the same dimension in the same filter location, the only Limit Values setting available is None.
