Data Filtering

Microsoft® Excel® Style End-User Data Filtering

Using built-in Excel style filtering capabilities, end-users can do the following:

• Hide unnecessary values in the axes.
  Yet another mechanism that allows end-users to focus only on the most important data.
• Filter the data against which calculations are based.
  To allow your end-users to manage this capability visually, PivotGridControl has a Filter Panel Region. This panel was specifically designed to contain fields that aren't currently used in the report, and when required, can be dropped onto the report to automatically alter the base data used in calculations.

Advanced Filter Editor Dialog

A new filter editor - Prefilter - allows your end-users to build complex filter criteria with an unlimited number of filter conditions combined by logical operators. The resulting filter condition is combined with filter conditions defined by individual fields.

Previously, end-users could only apply a filter by selecting/deselecting field values using check boxes, and as such, it was quite hard to filter out numeric or date-time values that fell within a specified range. With the new filter dialog, however, these tasks are now simple and straightforward – it is just a matter of specifying a couple of filter conditions.
