Currency conversion support in Google Ads
You now have the option to convert multiple currencies in Google Ads manager accounts.
If you select All currencies, and choose accounts that use different currencies, Data Studio converts all revenue-related fields to the currency of the top level Google Ads manager (MCC) account.

You can apply filters to the following components:

✔️ Charts
✔️ Filter controls
✔️ Groups
✔️ Pages
✔️Reports

Filters can be inherited, meaning filters on higher level components apply to the components beneath them. The order of inheritance is: Report level > page level > chart/control level

You can specify data sources at a page-level, rather than individually for each chart (although that’s perfectly acceptable too). The advantage of this page-level approach is that you can apply filters which will then be implemented across all your charts in that page.
