Excluding visual elements - Amazon QuickSight

Excluding visual elements

When viewing visuals, you can choose an element on the visual, and then choose to focus on the element. Elements to focus on can include, for example, a bar or bubble, or a row or column header in the case of a pivot table. The exception is that you can't exclude elements that are mapped to date fields. You can exclude multiple elements on a single chart.

Excluding the element creates a filter that removes only that element from the visual.

To see the excluded element again, you can either choose Undo on the application bar, or you can disable or delete the filter.
