Using Filters In Google Data Studio [Guide]
In Google Data Studio, filters help you to present and visualise the data most relevant to you and your report users. You can apply a filter to a chart, control, page, or the entire report using the DATA properties tab.
GlowMetrics contributor Conor Ross has published ‘A Guide To Using Filters In Google Data Studio’ to help you improve data studio performance.
He says, “Creating a filter is a very easy process, with two main methods of doing so: The first involves opening the Data properties menu of any widget by clicking on it, and at the bottom of this menu you’ll see the Filter section, and a button for Add A Filter. Note, this is on the left side of the menu, with the right hand side listing your available fields, the dimensions and metrics within your data source. Once you’ve clicked the Add A Filter button, you will see a list of the filters currently attributed to your dashboard. You can select one of these, or click on Create A Filter.
The second method is very similar, starting with the Resources tab at the top of the Data Studio, and entering Manage Filters. This also brings up the list of available filters, with a button to Add A Filter at the end of the list. Whichever method you choose, you’ll end up the same result: The Create Filter menu.”
