Creating or editing filters: The Filter Editor

You can create and save a filter using the Filter Editor. You can also use the Filter Editor to modify an existing filter. The Filter Editor is accessible from MicroStrategy Web.

To access the Filter Editor

In MicroStrategy Web, on the Home page, click New Filter. The New Filter page opens as shown below:

To create a filter, see Types of filters to determine which kind of filter you need. Then follow the related procedure for the filter type you choose to create.

To edit a filter, click on the filter in MicroStrategy Web. The filter opens within the Filter Editor. For details on each filter type, see the appropriate section below.

After you create a filter, you can then include it in a report, a metric, or some other report object. When placed on a report, a filter becomes part of the report's definition and affects the data displayed each time the report is executed. For steps to include a filter on a report, see Reports: Adding a filter to a report.
