Applying Filters in Dataset Reports
Dataset Reports can be modified using Filters in the Report Editor. This article describes types of Filters and how to apply them to the Report.
There are two types of Filters available in the Content tab of the Report Editor. These Filters limit the data that is displayed when viewing the Report online or in Notifications such as Bursts or Digests:
- Report Filters apply to all of the Report's Elements (Tables, Charts, and linked External Visualizations). These appear as drop-downs that can be adjusted by the Viewer, much like Dimension drop-downs in older versions of Metric Insights
- Table Filters apply to a single Table or Chart, are fixed, and can only be modified in the Report Editor
An Overview of Dataset Report features is available in Dataset Reports Overview article.
