Top N Filters

When a Dimension Filter is created, it is possible to select [Top N...] from within the Filter deck for that Dimension.

...

A filter with Top N (or Bottom N) limits the data included to only those items which are the indicated values for that Dimension. You can select the highest N values, the lowest N values, or both where N is a value you type yourself or pass the value using a parameter. The [Top N...] Filter dialog allows choosing between Top, Bottom, or Top & Bottom value or parameter, as well as selectively choosing a particular measure and aggregate function to be used for Top N. The bottom of the Dimension Filter deck will indicate the use and type of Top N filter.

Date Filters
In Visual Analytics, you can use date fields as filters by selecting a defined range or a period relative to a specific date. Visual Analytics supports Range filters and Relative date filters. 
 

...

Info

When you apply a date filter relative to Last Refresh Time, save the workbook without generating an extract and then reopen the same workbook, Visual Analytics applies filters as per the current date and time of your computer. However, when you save the workbook after generating an extract and then reopen the same workbook, Visual Analytics applies filters considering the date and time of the extracted data. For example, let’s assume today is December 6th and you reopen a workbook saved on December 1st. If you had generated an extract before saving the file then Visual Analytics applies filter relative to December 1st (date of the extract). If you had saved the file without an extract then Visual Analytics applies filter relative to December 6th.

Keep Only and Exclude Filters
The Keep Only and Exclude actions in Visual Analytics allow you to filter records from the chart view without manually adding any fields to the Filters Deck. To keep or remove records directly from the chart, highlight the specific records and then from the tooltip click Keep Only or Exclude.

For Keep Only, Visual Analytics retains the selected records in the chart view and shows these records as checked in the Filter card. For Exclude, Visual Analytics removes the selected records from the chart view and shows them stricken out in the Filter card.
