Hi there!
I am trying to create a Root Filter on a Business View.
Sample data is as follows
ID TAG Description Source
11111-US_Source1 11111 "Market A" US_Source1
22222-US_Source2 22222 "Market A" US_Source2
33333-US_Source1 33333 "Market B" US_Source1
44444-US_Source2 44444 "Market B" US_Source2
In the case of the above sample data, I'd like to filter on Description so that two records show...something like DISTINCT on the description attribute:
"Market A"
"Market B"
is there a way to do this in the Business View Root filter?
Thank you

Hi there, to clarify, what I'm trying to do is filter so that only one occurrence of a description would occur, and all other records would be hidden from view. I know one way to do this, by creating another column and assigning an integer to it (ie 1 for first occurrence of the description, 2 for the 2nd occurrence, etc) and then just filtering on "1", but was hoping there was a simpler solution first....what do you think? thanks!
Such a filter on description is not doable, unfortunately.
Nevertheless, according to your business need, that might be doable using other column.
For example, following the data sample provided, a filter like Source = 'US_Source1' will do the trick.
With more information, we might be able to figure it out. Feel free to provide an extended sample.
Hope this help,
GR

The solution you provide is a very good way to achieve that. Unfortunately, there is no simpler solution.
