The report filter data feature is available for all report type from the report setup
pages. A report type must be selected before the filter criteria can be created.
The filters available are based on the report type selected.
The Operator column uses one of three operator types based on the type of
column or expression entered for the Left Operand:
H
Logical: And, Or
H
Numeric: Equals, Not Equal, Greater Than. etc.
H
String: Match, MatchAdvanced, etc.
To be valid, the Right Operand type needs to correspond with the Operator type.
Note that the string NA can be used with the Numeric Operator to filter out report
rows containing NA. For example:
Select Left Operand
PVC Name (Use a column heading to sort on)
The filter example above would find all NA entries in the PVC Name column and
the report would exclude all rows with NA.
