Adding dataset parameters to filters

For datasets in direct query mode, dataset authors can use dataset parameters in filters without custom SQL. Dataset parameters can't be added to filters if the dataset is in SPICE.

To add a dataset parameter to a filter
  1. Open the dataset page of the dataset that you want to create a filter for. Choose Filters on the left, and then choose Add filter.

  2. Enter the name that you want the filter to have and choose the field that you want filtered in the dropdown.

  3. After you create the new filter, navigate to the filter in the Filters pane, choose the ellipsis (three dots) next to the filter, and then choose Edit.

  4. For Filter type, choose Custom filter.

  5. For Filter condition, choose the condition that you want.

  6. Select the Use parameter box and choose the dataset parameter that you want the filter to use.

  7. When you are finished making changes, choose Apply.
