Filter dimensions overview
A new and streamlined Report Builder was released on October 16, 2024. It is supported on Mac, Windows, and web browsers.
This Legacy Report Builder add-in version still works. You can convert your legacy workbooks to the new Report Builder.
You can filter on dimensions that you add to the Row Labels grid. Filters narrow the data returned by requests and can be applied from the Pivot or Custom Layouts. When you configure dimension filtering from the Pivot Layout, you can additionally specify the number of entries from cell.
The selected filter form is populated based on the element & metric that is selected in the Report Builder request.
