I have an overview detail area chart that displays value vs item. The data also includes region and account type:

 ![OverviewDetail1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/9/b91b9422a1ed2258b70fbd5f3507132b8a543dac.jpeg)

I need to filter the chart by region and account type and have gotten as far as setting up two drop downs in the "signals" section:

"signals": [  
{ "name": "detailDomain" },  
{ "name": "regionFilter", "value": "APAC",  
"bind": {"input": "select", "options": ["AMER", "EMEA", "APAC"]} },  
{ "name": "acctypeFilter", "value": "StrategyAccount",  
"bind": {"input": "select", "options": ["StrategyAccount", "Strategy", "Account"]} }  
],

I have not seen a relevant example of how to do this in the samples and need to be pointed to a sample that explains how to implement this kind of a filter in this kind of context (area chart).
