A usage type group is a collection of usage types that have the same unit of measure. If you choose both the Usage type group and the Usage type filters, Cost Explorer shows you usage types that are automatically constrained to the group unit of measure. For example, assume you choose the group
EC2: Running Hours (Hrs)
, and then choose theEC2-Instances
filter for Usage type. Cost Explorer shows you only the usage types that are measured in hours.
