Filters, sorting and groups
Focus views with filters, sets and groups.
📖 Key ideas
- Drag fields to Filters; show filter controls for users.
- Context filters run first; others depend on them.
- Groups combine dimension members (e.g. merge "Bombay" and "Mumbai").
- Sets define subsets (Top 10 customers).
- Sort by values or manually.
💡 Real-life example: Filters are sieves; groups are tying several bundles together; sets are VIP lists.
