Dimension-based View Filter

This page explains steps for View Filter based on data Dimensions.

A Dimension-based View Filter allows users to refine chart data by applying filter conditions to specific dimensions. By selecting sub-dimensions and applying operators such as "In", "Not In", "Like", or "Not Like", users can customize Views to display only the most relevant information.

Steps to Apply a Dimension-based View Filter

  1. Navigate to the Design workspace.

  2. Create a View using a combination of Dimension and Measure.

  3. Click the Filter icon from the Design workspace toolbar.

  4. The Filter panel opens with a list of available filter values.

  5. Select a Dimension → A list of sub-dimensions appears.

  6. Choose a filter condition from the drop-down menu:

    • In

    • Not In

    • Like

    • Not Like

  7. Select sub-dimensions by checking the box (multiple values supported).

  8. Click the Apply icon.

Filter Conditions

  • In – Includes only the selected sub-dimension values.

    • Example: Filter by Region = North, South.

  • Not In – Excludes the selected sub-dimension values.

    • Example: Show all regions except North.

  • Like – Includes sub-dimensions that match a pattern.

    • Example: Filter by Team Like BU 4 → Shows only BU 4.

  • Not Like – Excludes sub-dimensions that match a pattern.

    • Example: Filter by Team Not Like BU 10 → Shows all except BU 10.

Additional Features

  • Search Bar – Use the search bar in the Filter panel to quickly locate a Dimension, Measure, or Time value.

  • Apply Filter Button – Ensure you click Apply Filter when enabling or removing filter values to update the displayed chart.

  • Analyse Mode – The Analyse option enables users to insert, modify, or remove a View-specific filter dynamically.

Notes:

  • When a Global Filter is applied to a Report, the View-specific filter becomes ineffective.

  • Always save the updated View after applying filters to retain changes in the Report.
