Filters allow you to filter data in a chart. Filters are made up of a set of clauses; each clause in turn contains a number of conditions.

You can name and save filters for future use, or use them temporarily.

Create prompt filter

You can create a filter that will prompt users to enter a value, and filter based on that. For example, if you have data which contains people's names, you could create a filter like:

Name contains _prompt.EnterName fx

Filter on Current User

If your data contains details of the user, you may be able to filter based on the currently logged in user. For example, to set a filter where the owner equals the current logged in user, add a condition to the filter:

Owner equals _user.name fx

Enter a list of values for an "Is In" or "Is Not In" filter

If you want to select a set of records which have a field set to one of a range of possible values you can do this by selecting the "Is in" or "Is not in" comparator from the drop down list and then simply typing the list of values into the edit box to the right of the comparator as a comma separated list like this:

Country Is in England, France, Germany ABC

Alternatively, you can enter the comparison value as expression:

Country Is in ["England","France","Germany"] fx
