Abstract
A method filters data in data visualizations. The method retrieves a set of tuples from a database according to user selection. Each tuple includes a same set of fields. The method identifies a relation between tuples. The relation is a non-empty set of ordered pairs of tuples from the set of tuples. The method receives selection of one or more filter conditions for the tuples, where at least one of the filter conditions uses the relation. The method receives selection of an aggregation level, which includes one or more fields from the set of tuples. The method then displays a data visualization based on aggregating the set of tuples at the selected aggregation level to form a set of aggregated tuples, and displays each aggregated tuple as a visible mark. Each tuple that satisfies all of the filter conditions is included in an aggregated tuple; all other tuples are excluded.
