Global filter being overwritten by drill-down
Hello,
I am having a bit of an unfortunate interaction in one of my dashboards, where our customers are in a hierarchy with Country, Chain, Customer. People can filter on a global criterion using this hierarchy, and when they only use the global criteria all the measures are correct.
The problem arises when a person drill-down on a country in one of the cross-tables in the dashboard while also using the global criteria. In this case the drill-down will overwrite the remaining cross-tables in the analysis and show totals for the whole country selected ignoring the customer limitation set in the global criterion.
I have had success with splitting up the global hierarchy (where they use the global criteria to choose chain and customer and the table to choose country) however I would like to hear if it is possible to keep it to one hierarchy and force cross-tables to adhere to what was selected even if you then drill-down on a country.
Thank you in advance

Hi Bo, the intention of drill down filter is actually that all tables respond to this ad-hoc filter. Therefore the behavior should be correct.
But you can use the following functions:
- 1. Select ignore criteria
- 2. use local criteria for this object
I hope I understand your question right :)
Best regards,
Marlene
Hi Bo,
In addition to Marlene's suggestions, you can also choose to 'Ignore drill downs':
The downside of this is that it will ignore all drill downs from all dimensions. You cannot specify it to only ignore from a single dimension.
