How the Number of Datasets Affects Filters
Filters can interact differently with visualizations depending on the number of datasets, whether the datasets are joined, and what the filters are applied to.
You can filter all visualizations in a canvas or individual visualizations. Use the Limit Values options to remove or limit how the filters in the filter bar restrict each other.
