Using filter by value, you can filter field members based on values of a certain measure. For instance, you can show the top 3 movies with the biggest budget or products with sales lower than 5000.
Visit our Examples page for live examples that demonstrate how to filter in Flexmonster.
Filter by value consists of a measure to filter by, a condition applied to the measure, and values for the condition. Here is an example of a value filter, where Sum of Price is a measure to filter by, Top is a filtering condition, and 5 is a condition value:
You can apply the value filter to fields in rows and columns. Report filters do not support the value filter.
In the flat form, the value filter can be applied only to the fields of the "number" type.
Note Value filter cannot be combined with the conditional and selection filters.
The filter by value is available for the following data sources:
Note For the custom data source API, the filter by value must be implemented on your server. For more details, refer to the Configuring filters guide.

The filter by value can be applied via UI, in the report, or using API:

Step 2. Select the VALUES filtering option. This will open a subview where you can specify the filter by value.
Step 3. In the subview, choose a measure to filter by from the dropdown menu. Then, choose a filtering condition and enter a value for it.

Your report will now contain the filter configuration. If needed, you can edit the filter configuration programmatically. To learn more, see the API reference:
To set or change the filter at runtime, use the setFilter() API call:
pivot.setFilter("Country", {
measure: {
uniqueName: "Price",
aggregation: "sum",
},
query: {
top: 5,
},
});You can view the existing filter configuration using the getFilter() method.
