I want to display counts of a certain feature according to the year with an Altair Chart and I want to do it by selecting year as an option of a dropdown selector. It works fine with the 'None' option (so it selects the whole dataset) but nothing is displayed when I switch year.

Issue

You can see below when it works and when it does not : When it works When it doesn't work

Code

Here is my code :

year_dropdown = alt.binding_select(
    options = [None] + list(africa_metadata.year.unique()),
    labels = ["All"] +list(africa_metadata.year.unique()),
    name="Année:"
)


year_selector = alt.selection_point(
    fields = ['year'],
    bind = year_dropdown,
    name="year_selection"
)
(
    alt.Chart(africa_metadata).transform_aggregate(
        count='count()',
        groupby=['lineage']
    ).transform_window(
        rank_lineage="rank(count)",
        sort=[alt.SortField("count", order="descending")]
    ).add_params(
        year_selector
    ).transform_filter(
        year_selector 
    ).transform_filter(
        'datum.rank_lineage<=10'
    ).mark_bar(
        
    ).encode(
       alt.X('lineage:N', sort=alt.EncodingSortField(op='count', order='descending')),
       alt.Y('count:Q'),
        alt.Color("lineage:N")
    )
)

Dataset

Here is a fraction of my dataset : dataset.head(3)

Can you help me please ? I don't know why it does not work. Tell me if you need more info.

The first aggregate transform returns a new aggregated dataset, which only containing the columns referenced in the transform. This means that the year column is removed from the data at that step, which is why it can't be used in the filter transform afterwards. Move the filter transform ahead of the aggregate transform instead:

    alt.Chart(africa_metadata).transform_filter(
        year_selector 
    ).transform_aggregate(
        count='count()',
        groupby=['lineage']
    )...
