    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 Fred,

You hit on the key point.  There is not 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?

Just to follow up I added this to loop through the table and if there is an invalid account then send an error message.  Issue is the evaluation really slows it down.

 

'Loop through DT and see if Emp_HC is present. If so error
Dim valueToFind As String = "Emp_HC"
'Loop through each row in the Datatable
For Each row As DataRow In dt_ICU.Rows
If Row("Account").ToString = valueToFind Then
Throw New XFUserMsgException(si, Nothing, Nothing, Me.m_MsgNoData)
Else
Dim timename As String = PlanTime
Dim filePath As String = Me.GetFilePath(si, api, args, timeName)
Dim csvHelper As New CsvHelper
Using writer As New StreamWriter(filePath, True)
writer.Write(csvHelper.CreateCsvString(dt_ICU))
End Using
End If
Next
