There might be times when you want to put more than one SharePoint filter web part on the same page and use them to filter information displayed in another web part (list). Editing the page normally in the browser will only allow you to connect 1 filter to a web part (or send filter values to).
An example might be a page with a list (e.g. contact details) containing many hundred items. A simple way of filtering this list is to insert a filter web part onto the same page and use it to send filter values (e.g. Product) to the list to reduce the number of items displayed. You might want to reduce that list still further by having another filter (e.g. City).
To be able to connect 2 filters, open the page in SharePoint Designer and convert the list into XSLT. You will then be able to connect as many filters as you choose under web part connections.
