Limitations When Specifying the Scope of Summary Filters with Dimensional Data Sources

When you specify the scope for a summary filter, consider the following limitations. The scope of a summary filter
  • must refer to a grouped data item for list reports. Otherwise, you encounter the following error:

    OP-ERR-0212 The summary filter scope (Scope1) found in the query (Query1) is not valid. It must refer to a grouped query item.

  • can refer to multiple data items, but it can refer to only one data item per edge of the crosstab. Otherwise, you encounter the following error:

    OP-ERR-0213 The summary filter scope (Scope1) found in the query (Query1) is not valid. Referencing more than one query item from the same edge is not supported.

  • must refer to a level and cannot refer to a measure. Otherwise, you encounter the following error:

    OP-ERR-0209 The summary filter scope (Scope1) found in the query (Query1) is not valid. It must refer to a level.

  • must refer to a data item that is projected on an edge of the crosstab. If the scope of a summary filter refers to a data item that was deleted from the report layout, you may encounter unexpected results. Otherwise, you encounter the following error:

    OP-ERR-0213 The summary filter scope (Scope1) found in the query (Query1) is not valid. Referencing more than one query item from the same edge is not supported.

  • must refer to unique data items. For example, the summary filter cannot refer to the same data item more than once.
