Setting Up Filtering by Attribute Values

Dimension values are filtered by applying the conditions to dimension attributes values. Filtering is set up in the Advanced Filter dialog box:

To add a condition:

  1. Click the Add button. A new row to set up condition will be added to the table.

  2. Select one of logical operators using the drop-down list in the AND/OR column:

To sequentially group filtering conditions, select checkboxes next to conditions in the first column and click the Group button. After executing the operations the selected filtering conditions are grouped:

To ungroup filtering conditions, select checkboxes next to each condition in the group and click the Ungroup button.

  1. Select the attribute, to which the condition should be applied, in the Attribute column. All dimension attributes are available for selection.

  1. Select the checkbox in the Not column if it is not required to set up the inverse condition. For example, the attribute value is not equal to five.

  2. Select one of the condition types in the Condition column:

  3. Select the type of compared value in the Type column:

  4. Select the checkbox in the Ignore Empty column if it is required to not filter dimension elements with empty values of the specified attribute in the Attribute column. For example, if the checkbox is selected in a calculation block then on calculating an algorithm containing this block, the elements with empty values will not be excluded from the calculation.

  5. In the Value column specify the compared value or in the drop-down list select the dimension parameter/attribute that sets this value.

Value data type is set according to the attribute. If advanced filter is set for calendar dimension, selection of calendar dimension levels as value will be available for the Calendar Block Type attribute.

NOTE. If the condition is set to the level that is excluded from calendar dimension, the selected attribute value will be reset.

If the "in" condition is selected, to enter the second and the following values, expand the list using the Expand button and click the Add button located at the end of the string. A new row to enter value will be added:

To delete the value, click the Delete button.

After entering values collapse the list using the Collapse button if required. The specified values are displayed in the same row separated by comma:

  1. Select the checkbox in the Do Not Filter from Empty Values column if the parameter value in the Value column is used for comparison. Calculation result when the checkbox is selected depends on the parameter value:

NOTE. It is available only for the Parameter compared value type.

As a result, filtering condition of dimension elements by dimension attribute values will be added.

To delete filtering conditions:

  1. Select checkboxes next to conditions in the first column.

  2. Click the Delete button.

After executing the operations the selected filtering conditions are deleted.
