single select filter control in datastudio - google-data-studio

I am using google data studio to create charts. I am using a filter control to select values(ex. Memory Type) as filter to filter a chart and a table . It currently displays 2 values
Free and Used.
There is a checkbox next to the selection . Is it possible to have the checkbox removed, so that I can use it as a single select drop-down list or is there any other control to achive the same?
Thanks for your help

A Single Select Filter Control should do the trick. Optionally, a default selection could be added (so that a value would be selected by default).

Why is the advanced filter control not working with IN filter type using Google Data Studio?

I have advanced filter control in one of my dashboard. It's working fine with Starts with, Contains but not working with "In". I am passing value like GANESH, RED (I have all data in upper case) but it's not giving any result.
Sample Data Studio Report
One approach is to use multiple Search Box Community Visualisations (for a full selection of the chart(s), click the icon on the toolbar and select ):
Data Tab
Column to search on: ItemName (the field to search)
Cross-filtering: Select (☑) (this is needed to filter values in other charts, as they are searched using the Search Box)
Additional Details on the Search Box
Case Insensitive: A term such as Red could be found whether it's reD, RED, red, etc.
Real-time suggestions: Values are filtered while typing thus users do not need to press the Enter key after searching

How can I load a chart table with a default value in Google Data Studio?

I'm working on a Google Data Studio page which pulls data from a Google Sheet.
The use case of this page is to display the data from a row (from the Google Sheet) based on a selection made from a filter (single select dropdown).
When the Google Data Studio page loads, by default, it loads all the data from the source and displays it on the chart tables, however I would like to display a blank page and the data should load only after a selection is made from the filter dropdown.
There is a simple way to solve this problem. In the drop-down filter settings, in the "default selection" field, you can enter text by default that does not match any of the possibilities of the list items will be displayed in the drop-down list. It might be something like "-".
Thus, defining a default selection that does not exist in the list, it will start by default selected and will not correspond with any existing field, causing no information to be displayed in the table.

How can I change DataStudio default display in charts when I don't select anything in the drop-down control filter?

I create drop-down list(Q1,Q2,Q3) to filter the charts and tables. If I don't select anything in the drop-down list, the charts and tables will automatically show everything(Q1,Q2,Q3) -- how can I change the default value charts and tables that are displaying to Q1's value only?
To be more specific, if I don't select anything in the drop-down list, the charts and tables will show Q1's results; if I select Q2 in the drop-down list, the charts and tables will show Q2's result.
enter image description here
Kindly look for default selection at the filter property panel, as circled in screenshot below.
For example, when I enter "US" as the default selection, the entire dashboard is filtered to US by default. However, the user can still look for other selections if they are interested on other available country.
Do note the data here is dummy data, not the real-world data.

Limit data based on UniqueCount

I have charts on a tab, that should only show if 1 value from a column filter is selected.
For example if a field named: BUSINESS_UNIT has values of "HR","FIN","IT" The charts should only show data if 1 value is filtered on. Such as "HR."
These charts do not contain the BUSINESS_UNIT field itself.
I tried using the Limit Data Using expression, but for some reason the limit expression UniqueCount(BUSINESS_UNIT)=1 doesn't work.
How would I hide the data in the charts, unless 1 BUSINESS_UNIT is selected?
What you could do is hide the filters panel and create radio buttons on a new text area for each property to mark data. If you need help setting this up let me know. Then in your visualisations limit data using markings and show an empty visualisation if no items are marked.
One downside to this is maintenance, if the values change you will have to update the UI.
Another possible solution (untested) is to change the filter panel properties from checkboxes to radio buttons.

How to dynamically update summary type for grid in extjs4.1

How to dynamically update summary feature for grid in extjs4.1?
In my application the grid summary will become filled at the time of loading the page, the grid by calculating a total using the summary feature. I have a combo box drop down in the screen. If a user selects from the combo box, I need to update the grid records from store and also need to update the calculated summary value using records coming from another store.
Can anybody tell me how to do that? Thanks
Assuming that yourGridItemId is the first/only grid with this itemId, the following code should work:
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#yourGridItemId')[0].getView().refresh();
