Can't get page title filter to work on report

Hi everyone, I need to filter a graph to only show a certain page title, but when I try to do this via filters it only shows a blank graph. The quick filter works but obviously doesn't remain on the report when viewing it. The setup is below:

How I'd like it to look (shown with the quick filter on) is:

I'm completely new to Looker Studio but I've tried to configure filters to exclude every page except What's On - English National Ballet, but for some reason this only works when using the quick filter setting. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it!

Hey ENB15,

Without seeing your actual filters you've tried it will be hard to diagnose your specific issue. However, quick filters work in the same way normal filters do, so there shouldn't be any reason its not working. If I were you, I'd double check that I am using my filter correctly.

Just as a quick reminder, I would probably have my filter set up as "Include" -> "Page title and screen name" -> "Contains" -> "English National Ballet" or "What's on - English National Ballet" (The first if you have no conflicting other names and so you don't have to have the "-" character.)

Another method you can achieve this same affect is by adding any of these controls shown in the picture and setting a default value.

For example, you could select Drop-down list, set it to the "Page title and screen name" field, and set the default as the What's on name.

Here's a link to more information on filters.

Hope this helps!

Hi Dylan

Thanks, unfortunately I've tried that filter configuration and it doesn't work. Below is the config I've tried:

We have several pages starting with What's On, so at least one should be showing up when the filter is applied but instead it just shows this:

The same result occurs when I use the advanced controls as well, as suggested.

Any ideas?
