How can I override Looker's always_filter default filter on LookerStudio?

I'm trying to use data from a Looker Explore with always_filter and conditionally_filter. I find that the data is limited to 7 days because there is a default 7-day filter using always_filter when the Explore is defined in Looker. Thus, I can limit the data I pull only to show 7 days of data.

I try to override the value of the 7 days, but with no success. 

Has anyone come across this issue and can help resolve it?

Hi @ngivol-16759276 ,
The always_filter in Looker can’t be overridden from Looker Studio — it’s enforced at the model level and applies to all queries using that Explore. Options:

  1. Ask your Looker developer to:

    • Replace always_filter with a conditionally_filter, or

    • Move the 7-day limit into a default dashboard filter.

  2. Or request a new Explore/view without always_filter for Looker Studio use.

Unfortunately, Looker Studio can’t bypass always_filter by design.
