  • 1.  Logical operators in reports?

    Posted Mon October 23, 2017 04:45 PM

    Is there a possibility for logical operators in a report? I can filter within a table according to the entry in the first row or use “!” in front of the search string to filter everything that does not contain the following string. 

     

    But is there a possibility for a logical “OR” so that I only get all values back that does neither contain A or B?

    Hi Ronald,

     

    If you add a slicer to the report you can do what you are saying. You can pick multiple things in the slicer drop down by holding in the SHIFT or CTRL key. Thus, to see everything except two aspects you would pick all the items in the slicer view except those two. If you hold in the shift key it will select them all and then hold in the CTRL key to deselect the two you don't want.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Ronald - the double pipe delimiter can act as an OR function in a filter. For instance in a cost pool filter entering internal labor||external labor will return either value (yes I know just entering labor would also work but this is only an example   ).

    It is working well. But it is necessary to filter only on one column. If I tried to filter on next column it was ignored. The filter on next column is colored in red so it is visible there is some problem.

    This is a pretty old post, but I just stumbled across it, so I'll go ahead and provide some clarification.
    The reason that you can only filter on one column when using the || operator is because Apptio does not allow you to mix OR and AND operators when filtering.  When you filter on multiple columns, you are using an AND operator, so you can't subsequently use an OR operator in a different column.  If you were to filter on one column for abc&&xyz and then a second column for 123, you would be allowed to do that because those are all AND operators.
