Data Filtering

Filtering data is data selection by some condition. For example, the statistics of visits for the last twenty four hours or sales volume by a definite category, etc. The data are filtered with rows, i.e if a logical operation triggers for a definite value of one field, the values from other fields of this row will be displayed. Besides, you can specify the Expression as filter value. In this case, the result of expression calculation will be a value for a logical condition in a filter.
