2025 Week 33 | Sigma : Can you cross filter tables?

Introduction

Welcome to Week 33 of 2025!

We’ve all been there: you want to cross filter a dashboard by clicking on a field, and just as easily clear the selection. With charts, it’s easy – just click the white space. But with tables, it can be a little trickier.

This week’s challenge: master cross-filtering from table elements using conditional actions and hidden controls. Ready to make your tables as interactive as your charts? Let’s do it.

Good luck!
