Show only one graph out of a matrix of graphs

When there is a matrix of graphs, say 4x5 of them on the dashboard, how do I pick just one graph of all and show it zoomed in? The selection does happen when a data filter is used when the two columns from the data table used to form the graphs in the horizontal and vertical direction and are narrowed down to a desired pair. It would be useful to have a single zoomed in graph where this selection is made from a drop down lists instead of histogram like control on the data filter form.

Re: Show only one graph out of a matrix of graphs

If you have a single graph builder with x and y groups and filter

just by filtering down the data you should get single graph

You can change how filter looks from filter's red triangle menu

Re: Show only one graph out of a matrix of graphs

For solving the first problem:
If you filter your data just keeping e.g. a graph with GroupX=1, GroupY=1 and another graph with GroupX=2,GroupY=2, you will indeed still see a 2x2 matrix of graphs with x=1,2  , x=1,2 with just position 1/1 and 2/2 containing a graph and the other 2 positions empty.

 

If you don't care where the individual plots show up, then you could remove the white regions by

- combining the columns used for GroupX and GroupY to a single column (get still the required intersections)

- use this column as Wrap

 

On the other hand, this example also shows the disadvantage:
you lose the information about the specific X and Y value.

 

From daily work in Data Visualization, I know:
There are definitely cases where the benefit of the denser packing overweights the disadvantage of the lost structure
Especially when the generated Matrix has to fit into a Powerpoint slide ...

I am missing the "Display Options" item on the menu, not sure where to find it?
