Filtering report data : Creating a filter

Creating a filter

To create a filter, you define a condition specifying which data rows to display in your report. A filter condition is an If expression that must evaluate to true for a data row to be included in the report. The following list shows examples of possible filter conditions:

If the credit limit is greater than 100000
If the sales office is San Francisco
If the order date is between 4/1/2008 and 6/30/2008

Figure 6-3 shows an example of a filter condition. When defining a filter condition, you can break it down into the following parts as shown in Figure 6-3:
