Excel Filters Now Retained During Ad Hoc Analysis - SV 11.1.2.5.620

A new feature added to the latest version of Oracle Smart View for Office 11.1.2.5.620 released in January of 2017

Excel Filters Now Retained During Ad Hoc Analysis!

Let's take a look to see how it works..

Our favorite, Sample Basic.








Let's say we now want to know all of the Product(s) that made a Profit in the 4th Quarter for a particular region, in this case, Wisconsin.




















With this version you can now add your Excel data filters to your Ad-hoc grid and the retrieve will honor the filter.








Filter added to Qtr4->Profit data greater than 0. (Column E)











So far, connect, Ad-hoc and retrieve as usual.
Now let's see if the filter is indeed honored with an Ad-hoc in tandem.









Ad-hoc -> Zoom Out -> Wisconsin.
That should Zoom Out to Central, which it does. But in addition, the filter added prior to return those products that made a Profit in Qtr4 is still intact!







Just to make sure, let's remove the filter.








With the filter removed, we can see the products that didn’t make a Profit in Qtr4 for the Central region.
