Hi Michael,

Oh no! Can you give us a little more information?

- What version of Kibana are you using?
- Which browser are you using?
- Does this happen in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome)?
- Which operating system do you have (Mac, Windows, Linux)?

Nick,

Thank you for responding – the paste issue was resolved when I brought up an existing instance of kibana that had been sitting in the background (??).

However, I have another pressing issue which I have put into the discussion stack –(  
**Kibana/Vega): “**\*\* Transform / Filter works with inline data - Does  
not work with identical index data”\*\*

So far I have had no responses – could you take a look – the text of the entry is below:

**I am working with two versions of a Vega Detail/Overview (Area Chart) Visualization.  
They both have the same dropdowns that are used to filter the data:**

"signals": [

{ "name": "detailDomain" },

{ "name": "regionFilter", "value": "EMEA",

"bind": {"input": "select", "options": ["AMER", "EMEA", "APAC"]} },

{ "name": "acctypeFilter", "value": "StrategyAccount",

"bind": {"input": "select", "options": ["StrategyAccount", "Strategy", "Account"]} }

],

**The data source of the version where filtering works:**"data": [

{

"name": "sp500",

"values": [

{"account":"XXXXXX","price":-1.387814312978290e+004,"acctype":"Account","region":"zzzz"},

{"account":"YYYYY","price":0.000000000000000e+000,"acctype":"Account","region":"zzzz"},

{"account":"ZZZZZ","price":-6.588935784852400e+005,"acctype":"Account","region":"zzzz"},

{"account":"X1X1X1","price":8.863933226918270e+005,"acctype":"Account","region":"nnnn"},

{"account":"Z2Z2Z2","price":-3.314336740809040e+005,"acctype":"Account","region":"nnnn"},

# . etc, etc,
