Tap to enable multi-selection of chart values. For example, enabling this option allows you to tap and select more than one bar in a bar chart before applying a filter. When this option is enabled, you can also tap and drag to lasso multiple values in a given area. When disabled, you can only select a single value at a time. Tapping a new value changes the selection. |
|
Sort the measures and dimensions in charts in ascending or descending order. For example, sort dimension values from A-Z or Z-A, or measure values from lowest to highest or highest to lowest. | |
Filter data by the ranking of the highest or lowest values. For example, show only the Top 5 or Bottom 5 measure values. Custom Top N options saved to the original story are applied when viewing in the mobile app. |
|
Filter by (include) the selected values. Tap first to allow you to tap and select multiple values. To remove a chart filter, select in the upper-right part of the chart to open the Chart Filters panel. Swipe left over a filter and tap Delete. Note If
using the Android App, you cannot remove the chart filter.
You can only reset the chart filter. |
|
Filter out (exclude) the selected values. Tap first to allow you to tap and select multiple values. To remove a chart filter, select in the upper-right part of the chart to open the Chart Filters panel. Swipe left over a filter and tap Delete. Note If
using the Android App, you cannot remove the chart filter.
You can only reset the chart filter. |

Drill down through a hierarchical dimension. For example, assume you have a hierarchy for a Location dimension that consists of Country > State > City. If your chart is displaying at the State level, tap a value to select it, and then tap to drill down one level. The chart refreshes and now displays values at the City level. |
|
Drill up through a hierarchical dimension. For example, assume you have a hierarchy for a Location dimension that consists of Country > State > City. If your chart is displaying at the City level, tap a value to select it, and then tap to drill up one level. The chart refreshes and now displays values at the State level. |
|
Apply an axis break to outlier values in bar, column, or waterfall charts. For example, let's say you have two values in a bar chart much larger than the rest. These two values determine the scale of the chart, and make it harder to read smaller values. Tap to allow multi-selection, tap the two long bars in the bar chart, and then tap to apply the axis break and shorten their represented length. The scale of the chart is changed, and the bars of shorter values appear longer and are easier to read. |

Open a chart link to other stories, story pages, external web pages, and links that launch other apps. |
