Analysis Workspace Filter to Update Totals

The filter in Reports and Analysis updates the totals once you type in something on the filter and hit enter. However, in Analysis Workspace this does not get updated. Let's say I have a list of sections on my sight and one of them is called "Training". let's say I have 1,000,000 page views for my whole site and 250,000 for Training. Training would then consist of 25% of the totals overall. If I filtered for Training in Reports and analysis then it will update and say the total is 250,000 page views but if I filter in Analysis Workspace then it still shows the same totals. This is just a very simple use case to convey the idea.

I have found that i can create a segment and place it in Analysis Workspace and it will update the totals but it would be really helpful if I didn't clutter my segments by being able to filter like I can in Reports and Analysis.

Thanks!

MG

    Thanks for submitting and commenting @mgraham/@MikeT1. This is definitely an area of interest for us with Analysis Workspace. I can't promise anything in April, but we're definitely talking about the best way to solve this problem in the future.

    I've mentioned this to Ben before as well.  On top of making it difficult to get totals, we've also found people get confused by what that number is when we share reports.  

     

    We've had to use similar workarounds -- either using segments or by using the "display only selected rows" feature.  But as you stated, neither are quite ideal.

     

    My suggestion was to either have a toggle of which to show or just show both (it looks like there would be room to put the total on top and filtered below with some sort of "filtered" icon next to it).
