HOW MULTIPLE FILTERS BEHAVE

By default, all filters that we set in Tableau are computed independently. That
is, each filter accesses all rows in the data source without regard to other
filters.

In case there are 2 filters that are applied in a Viz the result will be the
intersection of both filters i.e., of all filter values
Like AND operation
Region Filter
Sales Filter

The Viz will have the records that match the combined results of
the Sales and Region Filter
