    Create "OR" quick filters on a dashboard

      Is there a way to make a quick filters follow "OR" logic instead of "AND" logic?  For instance,  I have a drop down of car types and I want to have another filter that uses OR logic based on the location it was built.  For example, someone could select "Ford" OR "Detroit".

          Hi Steve,

           

          This may be possible using parameters and a calculated field.

          1. Right-click Car Type and Location fields and select Create Parameter
          2. Create the following calculated field: [Car Type] = [Car Type Parameter] OR [Location] = [Location Parameter]
          3. Place the calculated field onto Filters and select True > OK.

           

          See the attached workbook as an example. If this does not solve your question, can you provide a sample packaged workbook and a mock up of the desired result?

           

          Best,
          Sarah
