Hi There.

First time to the forum, but a long time reader!

 

A dimension I'm using as a filter in my worksheet has a "Null" option as one of the selectable options in the filter. I want to force the "Null" option to be selected whenever a different selection is made. (I.e. selecting "X" in the filter, causes "X" and "Null" to be selected).

 

Would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance.

Garrett

    I know this is a really old post but I spent a while trying to find a solution and figured out an alternative. I couldn't find anything on the forum so thought I'd post this in case it is useful to someone else.

     

    I had a similar problem where I needed one value to always be displayed in the view but wanted the user to be able to select from all of the remaining values.

     

    I created a worksheet that simply had the column that needed to be filtered (see image below). The value "*Map Display*" is the value I always needed included.

    I know this is a really old post but I spent a while trying to find a solution and figured out an alternative.Then I created a parameter that referenced that worksheet when the workbook is opened.

    imageNext I created a calculated field with a simple if statement that yields a 'T' value if either the parameter value=the column value or the column value = '*Map Display*'

     

    imageFinally I use this calculated field as a hidden filter that exclude values equal to 'F'. The user selects the value from a drop down list and the display shows their selection + the '*Map Display*' Records.

     

    The downside to this is they can only select a single value at a time, but that worked for my case.
