Filtering a Cube View

You can filter data in a cube view that contains a single row dimension and one or more column dimensions.

When you have two or more dimensions along the columns, you can filter only from the innermost dimension, that is the dimension closest to the view grid.

Procedure

  1. Click the column element that contains the values that you want to filter.
  2. Select a filter.
    • Pre-defined filter - Top 10, Bottom 10, Top 10 Percent, Bottom 10 Percent. The filter is immediately applied to the view.
    • Advanced - You can define a custom filter by setting filter parameters in the Filter dialog box, as described in the following steps.
  3. Select a Filter type.
