Hi,

How can I get a number representing a unique count that is filtered by a term.?

Eg unique number of users from America...

Many thanks.

You can filter an aggregation with the search bar at the top of the Visualization editor.

Something like this:

You can also pin filters on the Discover page and they'll carry over to your visualizations.
