Rick - Sidebar category filters can be set to allow only one value at a time, i.e. mutually-exclusive value filtering by ticking 'Restrict to single value' from the filter device drop-down.

If you mean restricting mouse selection to just one bar in a Bar View (or one segment inside a stacked bar) and letting brushing fade the other views, or setting other views to Selection subsets to show drill down, then no, this is not currently possible.

Selection is a free-form mouse activity potentially used for several things on all views/visualisations including generating views of selected details. It can be used, in conjunction with Keep and Move for sequential filtering, but without restrictions.

Some options:
1. Add a formula field that classifys records by mutually-exclusive values, like [Month] then set a sidebar filter restricted only a singel month. Soon, you will be able to add this kind of filter INSIDE the Bar View, rather than on the Sidebar.
2. Add a footer to the Bar View instructing the user to select just one bar at a time "for best results"
3. Both of the above

Labels can be hidden as follows in the 2.7 bar/line view (depending on which labels you're referring to):

• View toolbar > Scale > Show value labels
  
• View toolbar > Scale > Hidden / Independent
  
• View toolbar > Layout > Advanced > Pane/split labels size limit > [drag to 'Small']
  
• View toolbar > Tools > Toolbars and styles > Colour key
  
• View toolbar > Tools > Toolbars and styles > Data titles
  

I don't have 2.7. I have the latest version of 2.6. Is there a way to accomplish this in my version?

Rick - All Group M users should ONLY be using version 2.7 beta...available from here:

This version has all the latest Group M digital marketing data Connectors.

...but for those on 2.6:
View toolbar > Tools > Layout > Show quantity labels
View toolbar > Tools > Layout > Pane/split labels size limit

Thanks. The new version make life much easier
