The numbers in a chart can be narrowed by several things at once: its own filters, filter components, clicks on other charts, drilling and values passed into the report. The chart's query applies all of them, and its Conditions button lists them by source.

Where conditions come from

Source	Narrows	Reader can undo it	Listed under
Component filter (Data → Filters)	That component only, always	No	Own
Filter component with Data source → Model field	The components checked in its Linked components. A Date component with Filter all components (the default) filters every component the date can filter.	Change or clear the filter	Filter
Click on a chart	The clicked chart's Linked components	Click again, or Clear in Conditions	Link
Drill down	The drilled chart shows the next level of the clicked member, and its Linked components are filtered by that member	Drill up or the drill path	Link, without Clear
Drill-through or the report URL	The components of the opened report whose model has the field	No	Passed in
Parameter	Nothing: it adds no condition. Components whose formula, title, text or model SQL uses it re-query with the new value.	Change the filter bound to it	Not listed

A value passed as default_<filter>=… in the URL is the opening selection of that filter component, so it is listed under Filter, not Passed in.

How the conditions combine

All conditions apply together: a row is counted only if it passes every one of them. A chart filtered by Channel is Online (filter component) and by a click on East China shows online sales in East China.

Clicks follow their own rule: with Ctrl+click, points in the same chart are combined with OR, and selections in different charts with AND. See Cross-Filtering.

Conditions on the same field narrow each other; none of them replaces another. This is also true when a component filter and a filter component use the same field:

Component filter (Own)	Filter component	The component shows
Region is East China, South China	Region is East China, North China	East China
Region is not East China	Region is East China, South China	South China
Region is not East China	Region is East China	No data

So a filter component cannot show more than a component filter allows. To let readers choose freely on a chart, remove the component filter on that field, or leave the chart out of the filter's Linked components.

Changing any filter component clears the chart clicks on the page.

Components on another model

A filter or a click reaches a component on another analysis model only through a matching field: the server looks for the same level by unique name, then by caption. Members are matched by name, so both models must use the same member names. A condition without a matching field is dropped for that component; if a click has no matching field at all, the component is not re-queried and its Conditions list shows no link. See Cross-Model Analysis.

Apply mode

With a Filter button set to Action → Apply on the page, changes to filter components wait until the reader clicks Apply. Clicks on charts, drilling, paging and tab switches stay immediate and use the filter values of the last Apply. Clicking Apply clears the chart clicks, the same as changing a filter on a page without the button. Filters bound to a parameter are not deferred.

What each button undoes

Refresh in the report toolbar, and the Reset filters and Clear filters actions of a Filter button, when the report is opened or previewed:

	Refresh	Reset filters	Clear filters
Filter components	Back to the opening value, including default_ URL values	Back to the opening value	Set to All. Required single selections and changed Date components go back to the opening value.
Chart clicks (Link)	Cleared	Cleared	Cleared
Drill-downs	Back to the top level	Kept	Kept
Changes waiting for Apply	Discarded	Applied with the reset	Applied with the clear
Component filters (Own)	Kept	Kept	Kept
Passed-in values	Kept	Kept	Kept
Server cache	Cleared, then every component re-queries	Kept	Kept

To undo a single condition:

To remove	Do this
One chart click	Clear next to it in Conditions, or click the point again
All chart clicks	Clear all links in Conditions
One filter's selection	Clear selections (eraser) in the filter's toolbar, or × in a Dropdown; on a Date component, Reset to default
A drill-down	Drill up, or click an earlier segment of the drill path

Read the Conditions list

Point to the component and click the funnel with a count in its toolbar. The list Conditions applied to this component groups the conditions in this order; empty groups are left out:

Group	Contains
Link	Clicks on other charts, and the members drilled in other charts. Each click has Clear; Clear all links removes them all. Links from drilling have no Clear.
Filter	Filter components on the page that filter this component
Passed in	Values from a drill-through or the URL
Own	The component's own filters

Each row reads Field is value or Field is not value. A rule such as contains or a relative period reads Field matches a custom condition, and Field is (none) means the conditions on that field left no member. Hover a row to see the full condition and where it comes from, for example From: Passed from jump.

Parameters and the drill-down of the chart itself are not listed; the drill path shows the drill. When a component is empty, it says No data under the current link conditions with Clear links, or No data under the current filters with View conditions, which opens the same list.
