In SAS Visual Analytics
Designer (the designer), you can create filters to subset your data.
Three types of filters
are available:
Basic filters
subset the data for
individual report objects in your reports by using a single data item.
A basic filter is constrained to use only the data item that was selected
when the basic filter was created. Basic filters can be created and
modified by using the pop-up menu for a report object or by using
the
Edit Filter window.
For more information,
see Working with Basic Report Filters.
Advanced filters
subset the data for
individual report objects in your reports by using any number of data
items and operators (for example, OR and AND) in the same expression.
Advanced filters can be created and modified by using the
Advanced
Filter window.
For more information,
see Working with Advanced Report Filters.
Data source filters
subset the data for
the entire report. The data source filters that you create are applied
to every report object in the report that uses that data source.
For more information,
see Working with Data Source Filters in a Report.
All of your filters
are saved when you save your report.
When a report object
imported from SAS Visual Analytics Explorer (the explorer) has a local
filter, that filter is displayed on the
Filters tab.
You cannot edit or delete these filters on imported report objects
that use on-demand data.
Note: Report linking is a type
of filter. The report section that is the target of the link is filtered
by the values selected in the linked report object.
For more information,
see Overview of Linking.
