Chart Filters and the Quick Actions Menu

Additional options, including chart filters, are available from a Quick Actions menu after entering full screen mode. Tap

in the upper right corner of a chart to expand it full screen. Initially the menu shows several chart-wide options, but more options become available after selecting a value in the chart. Select a value in a chart by tapping it, such as a bar in a bar chart, to see the full list of options.

Note

Table rows and columns are initially truncated, showing only a preview. Tap in the upper right corner of the table to expand it full screen and show the full table details.

Quick Actions Menu Options
Option	Description
	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 applications 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.
	Filter out (exclude) the selected values. Tap first to allow you to tap and select multiple values.
	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 Location 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 Location 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 analytic applications, stories, story pages, external web pages, and links that launch other apps.

Additional Chart Interactions

Aside from the Quick Action menu, additional gestures can be used directly on chart values:

Option	Description

Show a changing difference marker.	Tap and hold to select a single value, then select a second value. A changing difference marker is displayed on the chart showing the absolute and percentage difference between the two values.
