Looker Studio - Report-level filter doesn't work on all charts in the report

[nishchal11]

I have a report on Looker Studio with about 10 different data sources - combination of a BQ table and .csv files.

I need to apply a report-level filter on a column called "client" which is present in all 10 data sources, and populated with the same values. However, this filter only updates the chart connected to the BQ table and the charts connected to the .csv files don't update with the filter. 

Any suggestions/insights? Thank you!

If you would like to use one filter control across multiple data sources, you’ll need a field in each data source with the same field ID (not just the same field name).

This is exactly what I needed - thank you, @lauratilton ! 🙂
