What characterizes a dependent global filter?

A dependent global filter is characterized by its reliance on another filter to determine its value. This means that the selections made in one filter directly influence the available options or the results in the dependent filter. By establishing a connection between filters, a dependent global filter enables a more granular and controlled data analysis process, ensuring that the results are coherent and contextually relevant to the user’s selections.

In contrast, options that suggest independence or lack of interaction miss the core functionality of a dependent global filter. This type of filter is specifically designed to interact with others, driving the data selection process in a dynamic way. Additionally, while a filter may apply to multiple data sources, that characteristic alone does not define it as dependent. User interaction is also not restricted by the designation of a dependent global filter, as this type of filter typically allows user input but modifies its offerings based on previous choices made in related filters.
