The advanced filter feature is useful in applying filter conditions, which will otherwise involve complicated steps. In MicroStrategy desktop, we access these features after the filter is created and applied to the report.

We have the following additional options besides the check box option.

• Slider
• Search Box
• Radio Button
• Drop down

In this chapter, we will be looking at the search box option in detail.
