Re: Need to display total count to be displayed on Grouped bar chart.
I find using the nested bar chart a great way to show the group total and still show the individual totals. Here's the KB article for it.
Re: Domo Connections 2026: What do you hope to see?
I love the connection tours. I think a miss is that people think it is a "substitute" for Domopalooza or I've had some people think it's a mini Domopalooza. I think it should be presented as a teaser for Domopalooza or something like that.
Also, I personally think the fireside chats aren't as engaging as people on stage think it is. The goal should be more to inspire rather than inform. Happy to discuss this more if you'd like.
Re: Dropdown filter: select all fields that contains a particular word?
@ellibot and @verytiredgirl - I put this question into CHIP to see what it came up with. What do you think of the response: Short answer: yes, that’s a current limitation.With a standard dropdown (multi‑select) filter, you can search for values, but you still need to check each item manually after typing the keyword. There isn’t a setting that automatically selects all items containing a word. If you want true “contains” behavior, you have two options:
- Use a
Match Valuesfilter and type the keyword (e.g.,contains Pipe). This filters the data directly without selecting individual items. - Or use a
variable + Beast Modethat checks if the field contains the typed text.
So the behavior you’re seeing isn’t a bug - it’s just how dropdown filters currently work.
Dropdown filter: select all fields that contains a particular word?
Example: I have a drop down filter for products.
I want to type "Pipe" and select all the products that contains the word "Pipe" in it. But I dont see it as an option.
That means, I have to individually select each product after typing "Pipe" in the dropdown search.
Is it a DOMO limitation, or is there a setting for this?
Re: Is it possible to create a filter that handles multi-picklist options?
I agree with this approach, and I would add you can use variable linking now, if that pick-list needs to be dynamic:

And I would say this discussion is more relevant to the OP:
Re: Is it possible to create a filter that handles multi-picklist options?
Option 1 — Variable + Beast Mode (no data model changes)
This is the quickest fix. You create a Domo variable with your 10 values as a dropdown, then a Beast Mode that checks if the selected value is in the field:
1. Create a variable (text type) with your 10 values as the control options
2. Create a Beast Mode:
CASE WHEN `your_picklist_field` LIKE CONCAT('%', `your_variable`, '%')
THEN 'TRUE' ELSE 'FALSE' END
3. Add that Beast Mode as a filter on your card, set to only show 'TRUE'
Now you have a single dropdown with the 10 unique values. Select one → card filters to all opportunities containing that value.

@D-Rab I believe you could use a contains page filter or variable as a workaround. Here is a similar discussion that might be helpful:
Finding Context Within Concrete - How American Construction Supply went from 0 to 18 Domo Apps
"We needed a Domo Pro and it turned out to be you" - Hayden
@HaydenWoolstenhulme was tasked with being the Domo Pro for American Construction Supply just one month into working at the company. Additionally, he was a finance major and knew what NPV was, but never heard of ETL. Furthermore, the CEO tasked Hayden with a laundry list of tasks to complete in 6 months… Feeling overwhelmed, Hayden went to Domopalooza where he met me and we cranked out a TON of work in a short period.
