    If you meant that you're running an FDX query and want to see values > 30000 in the returned datatable then you can use the Filter parameter

    filter = "Amount > 30000"

    BRApi.Import.Data.FdxExecuteDataUnit(si, cubeName, entityMemFilter, consName, scenarioTypeId, scenarioMemFilter, timeMemFilter, viewName, suppressNoData, filter, parallelQueryCount, logStatistics);

    Hi SWilyums,

    You are 100% correct. There is an existing bug - "22557 - FDX Query Filter; When no records match the filter argument, then all data records are returned."
    Look for future release notes to find out when it's been resolved or reach out to support for updates.

    As a workaround, you may want to try the data table select functionality as mentioned by  Sai_Maganti or the filtering capabilities offered by the vb.net DataView objects. If it's a big data set and performance is important you may want to try both methods to understand which one would be best in your use case (code sample below):

    'Option A:
dim dtFilteredRows as DataRow() = dt.Select("Account='A30000' And (UD1 ='D1059' OR UD1 = 'D1061' OR UD1 = 'D1062')")

'Option B:
Dim sRowFilter As String = "Account='A30000' And (UD1 ='D1059' OR UD1 = 'D1061' OR UD1 = 'D1062')"
Dim sSort As String = String.Empty

Dim dview As New DataView(dt,sRowFilter,sSort,DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
dt = dview.ToTable()

Hello Sai_Maganti, 

A filter question for you.

I have a filter that looks like this:
Filter = "Account='A30000' And (UD1='D1059' OR UD1='D1061' OR UD1='D1062')"
The filter is not enforced, and I get extra data. 

If just filter on a single dimenion the filter works
Filter = "Account='A30000'" -  This works
Filter = "UD1='D1059' OR UD1='D1061' OR UD1='D1062'" - This Works

When combined no luck.  Any suggestions?

Assuming that there is data for that Account and UD1 combination, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. I had done similar filters and they are working fine in all versions upto 8.2.

Not that it would (in theory both are same) make any difference but try this. I had done most of my filters using IN operator:

Filter = "Account='A30000' And UD1 IN ('D1059', 'D1061', 'D1062')"

Best

Sai

    Hello Sai,

    There is no data that meets the criteria of my sample filter.  Upon further validation, when the filter gets a hit then it is applied.  However, when the filter does not get a hit then all data is returned.  I would think it would return a message saying no records or no data.  It becomes useless to me if that is not a configurable option.  Suggestions?
