What is the use of 'individual data source' option while using filter in query studio?..

Answer / shweta

When we use individual data source, it means we are applying
filters over the values in the DWH directly before they are
brought to cache. In the cache the values are summed up. so
it will apply the filter before summing up the value.
Eg.
Suppose we are creating a report
Product Quantity
Lux 50
Pantene 60

In the main data base these values are
Lux 10
lux 15
lux 15
lux 10

so wen we are using individual data source the filter will
work on the main data base value and not the summed value
that we bring to the report from cache.
