    Hi @Ranjith G​ 

     

    Hello there and nice to see another cool and unusual problem from you.

    Now a "Quick Filter" is a filter that you can use quickly (or fast). A regular

    dimension filter is a dimension that you drag into the filter shelf and it

    become a Filter. Basically they are both the same and it's just for convenience.

     

    In addition to these types of filters we have measure or M Filters which are

    usually a continuous a range (between min and max). Never seen a "Quick M Filter"

     

    Then there are the Enhanced Filters and I have never hear of a

    "Quick Enhanced Filter" as it would be called the "Quick E Filter"

     

    Hope this helps or at least was entertaining. Take care and Best wishes !

     

    Sincerely,

    Soumitra
