    Nothing remains greyed out, but the highlight is still there. I am working on filtering/removing filters across dashboards... and having that highlight acts as a selection (preventing user from making a different choice on the other dashboard) even though we have covered the grey selections

    thank you for the video how if we want to do the same thing to another chart sir? for example "bar char by hour" should we create a different action (highlight)?

    I don't have a step by step video build for this dashboard (those take a lot of time to make) but you can find my Tableau Public page and download the workbook for reverse engineering.

    Hey Anthony, thanks for the video. The removal of the highlight is great, but one thing that bugs me is that the button still looks selected even when the highlight and filter are both cleared. Any thoughts on that?

    I've felt your pain. Many stakeholders believe that Tableau means automated Excel tables in lieu of visualization. It becomes an opportunity to educate if possible.

    If you have your dashboard half built and you are looking for a specific solution, I agree it can get impatient times before getting to the exact solution/bit of information you need. The creator does not know what YOU need, and will create content for the wider audience to better provide context. And this type of content (non-entertainment type) is not designed for views (read revenue), its meant to share knowledge. The ownness is on the seeker to find what they need.
