Column filter using pivot table in Answer


Column filter using pivot table in Answer


Last week a user was asking me to have a drop down box as a filter in the dash board so that he can only sees the data based on the filter criteria.
Well I tried to do that using prompt but it was taking use to different page on selection. So it was not useful at all.
And here it is how I figure out ,you can achieve this using pivot table.
In UsageTracking.rpd repository I will perform above task.
In Answers make the section of the columns as shown below.
