I'm working on a dashboard and I have 2 indices with different structure and when i apply the cross filtering by clicking on a particular bar in a bar graph the data gets filtered and some plots turn to **'NO RESULTS FOUND'** , how should I avoid it, like the filter must affect only the possible plots and avoid the remaining.

This advanced setting sounds like it's what you need:

Hi @flash1293 I tried this out but this is not working while I use the controls or filter by clicking on the bar graph or pie chart in the dashboard.  
Again it shows me no results found.

Thanks.

Make sure to use different data views for the different panels
