Filtering data retrieval using query filters92
• Using the Quick Filter option – allows you to quickly select one or multiple values from
a list of value(s)
• Using the Filter Editor – allows you to select from many operators and to either type or
select the value(s)
Using the quick filter option to create filters
Quick filters allow you to quickly define the value(s) you want to retrieve for a specific
object without launching the Filter Editor. By default, Quick filters use the Equal to operator
if you select a single value or the In list operator if you select multiple values.
For example:
• If you select the [Payment Status] dimension and the value “unpaid” you create the
filter:
[Payment Status] Equal to “unpaid”
• If you select the [Country] dimension and the values US, Japan, Germany, you create
the filter:
[Country] In list “US;Japan;Germany”
