Focus a Table by Selecting Data Cells

You can narrow the focus of a table by clicking cells in the table.

If you click a cell in a column that contains filter values, the table is filtered based on the selected value. If multiple rows have the selected value in that column, all of those rows are selected.

If you click a cell in a column that contains numeric data, the table is filtered for the combination of filter values in that row. Generally that focuses the table on that row only.

To reverse the action and remove the filter, click the same cell again.

Focusing a table in this way actually changes the corresponding filter values. For example, if you select a specific element in a table column, it changes the element filter. As a result, focusing a table changes not only that chart but all other analytic objects on the tab that are subject to that filter.
