Grouping a control with a chart in Looker Studio

If you want a control element to only affect certain charts on your page in Looker Studio, you can do this by grouping them.

To do this, select the control and the visualisations you want to group, then right-click and choose Group.

In the example shown in the image, by grouping the fixed-size list control with the results box showing the average purchase, any category selected from the list will only affect that specific chart.

If you try to group components and the Group option doesn’t appear when you right-click, it’s because those are report-level elements. Report-level components cannot be grouped.

What do you think of this tip for ensuring a control only affects specific charts on the page?
