Answer / arun kiran
We use filter to view limited data. For eg:
a list report with two columns country and revenue
eg: china 1235939
india 40393493
japan 938743739
US 32478327
UK 9420834028
if you drag a filter in query explorer and in expression box
you typed country = 'japan'.. if you run the report you will
be able to view only japan 938743739. you limited data to
japan. if you want to see for two or three or more use IN
function

Answer / piggynet
Filters are used to secure,limit or restrict the data. for
examples
if we only want to see product name and revenue by product
you can use the filter. (filtering data)
if we want to show regional manager sales data only for
his region we can user filter on region column (restricting
data)

Hi All, I have 1.6 years of experience in cognos in India. I always wanted to do a MS program to earn some money in US. But I think I am little late in taking the decision. As If I have to write my GRE it will be August or September of 2012 and will have to apply for fall 2013 as fall 2012 admissions are almost done now. So my concern is how will be my career do if my MS is at this stage,. i,.e. 3 years experience in Cognos and 2 years MS program in and again looking for job in U.S. Have I been too late in taking the call? I heard that MIS (Managing Information Systems) is having very good placements now. So guys, please advice me in taking the decision to have a good career and also in terms of earning money as I have few financial problems to solve (which I am hoping to solve when I get job in US after completion of my MS program). Thanks a lot friends. I really appreciate and thank one and all for their valuable comments in this site.
