Is there a way to make filters inter dependent?  
So if I choose a value in filter 1, the options in filter 2 should be updated accordingly and show values relevant only to filter 1

I think so; look at the docs on “Faceted filters”:

> Create a Dashboard

Yep as @klawecki says, above the concept is called [faceted filters](https://docs.omni.co/docs/visualization-and-dashboards/dashboards#faceted-filters). This behaviour filters all suggestions on a given filter based on the other selected filters. For example if I have a `country` filter and a `state` filter. If `country` is set to `USA` I will only have US states suggested for the `state` filter.

You can configure this behaviour at a model level or at a dashboard level. The default behaviour is that they are turned off.

## For individual dashboards

If you want to turn them on for a dashboard, go to `Edit` → `Settings` and turn on `Facet filters`.

## For the the workbook.

You can add `facet_workbook_filters: true `to your model file to enable faceted filtering in workbooks
