Remove Unwanted Filter Values

Damodar and Clover Bhalerao Jun 30, 2017 11:46 AM

Hi All,

I have a confidential dashboard, and I am using multiple measures to filter out chart data.

Now the Measure Names filter is showing all the available list of columns, but this scenario is breach of our data security model as we don't want to show extra columns which are unnecessary.

How to remove those items from the filter box?

Thanking you in advance.

Damodar

Are you using Tableau's generated Measure Names as filter?

Ok, if you want to hide the columns from the Measure Names filter then just hide those unwanted columns from your data pane, as shown here:

Add the Measure Names filter on dashboard & relevant items will showup.

Hi Rahul,

Oh that was such a simple trick, I never thought of it.
Yes I wanted to hide the filter items, thanks for posting the details.

Cheers,
Damodar.
