# Dimension-based View Filter

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.

* [x] The **Filter icon** is now highlighted, and the View is updated to reflect the applied filter.

### 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.
