This task assumes that you followed the steps inDefining Report Layout and Selecting Query Members.
To apply filtering rules to selected members, such as selection by attributes, generation name, level name, pattern matching, and UDAs:
To view the member filter panel, right-click and select New Member Filter.
Select from the available choices in Method:
Generation Name enables you to select members based on generation name.
Level Name enables you to select members based on level name.
Pattern Matches enables you to select members based on matching a text string. Pattern matching supports the single-character wildcard symbol, ?, and trailing asterisk wildcard symbol, *. Examples of valid wildcard strings are J?n and 100*. Invalid wildcard strings are *-10 and *10*.
UDA enables you to select members by user-defined attribute.
If the database outline also includes attributes, these are displayed in Method before Generation Name. See Using Attributes to Select Base Dimension Members.
Optional: If you want to create groupings of member filters, select the same dimension in the navigation panel to return to the member selection panel.
In Selection Rules, select the member filter criteria that you previously defined.
Repeat step 3 through step 8 for each set of criteria.
As you create each member filter, notice that the navigation panel displays the criteria that you defined for the member.
Next, you can preview the results of the member filter or apply the query.
