Is it possible to bind_all_filters except one?
I want to exclude a filter from the NDT and use all the other filters from the main dashboard.

bind_all_filters in Looker is an all‑or‑nothing setting. When you enable it in a dashboard or LookML dashboard component, every filter with a matching field name is passed through automatically to the underlying tiles or merged results. There isn’t a native parameter to exclude a single filter while keeping the rest bound. The platform treats the binding as a global directive rather than something you can selectively override per field.
If you need one tile or NDT to ignore a specific filter, disable bind_all_filters and explicitly bind only the filters you want using the bind_filters parameter in the LookML dashboard file. Another option is to create a duplicate field or dimension in the explore that isn’t tied to the dashboard filter name, so it won’t be automatically bound. That keeps the tile independent of that filter while still respecting the others.
