Filter:

  • Filters are used to restrict the data. Dimensions/Measures can be used as a filter.

  • We can restrict data at three level. 1. Extract level 2. Datasource level and 3. sheet level.

  • Pls let me know if you need to know the difference between these 3 types of filters.

Parameter:

  • Parameters are like temporary variables. We manually give some value and based on that value we do computations.

  • For example let us assume the parameter which has 2 user defined values “Yes” or “No”. We can use this parameter in the calculated fields to do some calculation.
