I'm using trial version of Tableau Desktop 9.0.4

So far, I have datapoints on a geographic map. When I hover over them, the information appears in the tool tip.

Here is abstract of map

enter image description here

Now, I am trying to find out how to display other data on a separate panel, i.e. I click on datapoint, and data appears on the panel below.

This is abstract of what I would like. What Tableau tools to use? Thanks!

@Inox For some reason, Use as Filter is greyed out. I even tried to remove QuickFilters. Screenshot below.

    Try filter actions. http://kb.tableau.com/articles/knowledgebase/Filter-Actions – Inox Aug 19 '15 at 17:31
  • @Inox The `Use as Filter` is greyed out, I updated my original question. Please advise. – Rhonda Aug 19 '15 at 18:21
  • Actions are available under the Dashboard menu on a dashboard. You'll need a target worksheet. Try the free video training at http://www.tableau.com. – Alex Blakemore Aug 19 '15 at 18:28
  • @AlexBlakemore Oh ok, I selected a worksheet in Dashboard and clicked on Actions. Now I can see options. Thanks! – Rhonda Aug 19 '15 at 18:38

As already said in the comments, you should use Action Filters to use data from one worksheet to the other, if both are displayed in the same dashboard. (In fact, you can even filter worksheets in other dashboards, but I don't believe it's the case right now).

In Tableau Desktop, select Worksheet → Actions and then click in the Add Action button.

Selecting the filter action, you will be prompted with a window that lets you select the source sheet, target sheet and how the filter should behave.

Filter Action
