Using check box filters

In a check box filter, each unique value in the column is represented by a check box. It is used to filter to combinations of values in the data column.

About this task



Select or clear one or several check boxes to determine on what values the visualization should be based. Only rows containing values with selected check boxes remain in the visualization.

If there are empty values in the data column, there is also an (Empty) check box available.

Selecting all check boxes means no filtering is made, and clearing all check boxes means everything is filtered out.

Values that have been filtered out by other filters are indicated with a lighter text.
Note: The check box filter cannot be used as filter type for columns containing more than 100 unique values. Instead, you can use a list box filter; it can handle lots of values, and, using the installed client, it is possible to show the values as check boxes.
Select or clear one or several check boxes to determine on what values the visualization should be based.
Tip: For quick selecting or clearing of all the values, right-click on the filter, and select Reset Filter to select all the check boxes, or Deselect All Values from the pop-up menu.
