When you launch an ads account, you will have multiple campaigns with several objectives.
When it's time to analyze your result, you should filter your Looker Studio report to only display necessary information at a given time.
That's why you need to create and use filters.
In this quick tutorial, I will show you how to create filters in Looker Studio and apply them to your component.
From the menu Resource, then Manage Filters, you'll reach the list of the already created filter. Here, you can create a new one, edit an already-made one, or remove a filter.
Click on Add a filter to create a new one from scratch.
Then, choose your filter step by step :
First: Include or exclude: what will your filter do?
Second: Choose a field to apply a condition (for example, if you want to filter on branding campaigns, you will choose the "Campaign name").
Third: Select a condition through the list:
Fourth: Write your text depending on the condition chosen in the previous step.
For example, if I only want the result of my campaign containing branding in their name, my filter will look like this :
Tips: Even if the name is automatically filled, you want to give it your own name so you can find it easily later.
Once your filter is created, you can select any component on your page to open the configuration panel.
Look for the Filter section at the bottom of the panel and click Add a filter. Looker Studio opens the filters list, and you can select the one you want.
It will apply your filter to the selected component.
You can apply filters on all components, even if they do not contain the field selected in the filter.
For example, I can create a card with only the spend and apply my branding filter. It will, therefore, only display the spending for my branding campaigns.
You can apply a filter on an entire page or report at once.
Page level: From the menu Page, then Current page settings, look for the Filter section in the right panel. Choose a filter.
Congrats, you apply it on all your component on the page.
Report Level: From the menu File, then Reports settings, look for the Filter section in the right panel and choose your filter !
It is just apply to the entire report.
Warning : Page and Report level filters are great, but I advise to use them if you only have one data sources in the page or report.
