Report Dynamic filters
I have this multiple choice field which I am using as dynamic filter in a summary report but it still doesn't work because when I click it the summary report it spins and then displays empty records and then reloads all the data without filtering. How can I go about it to make a field to use as dynamic filter.
I fixed this by creating formula field and had a case formula with the initial field I wanted to use for filter then the filters. This works since I didn't have a lot of items to filter with its basically 7 but if the list grows it can be a challenge to maintain. Sample formula structure I used.
Case([Dynamic Filter Field], "1A) TestA", "1A TestA", "1B) TestB", "1A TestB", "1C) TestC", "1A TestC", "1) TestD", "1 TestD", "2) TestE", "1 TestE", "3) TestF", "1 TestF", "4) TestG", "1 TestG", "Other" )This is the way I was able to beat the parenthesis which I had challenge to render on the report and on dynamic filters.
