Hello,

I am creating an analysis - I want to exclude certain file extensions: .jpg, .htm, etc. I have tried using the filter method in the criteria but does that give me that option. Are there any best practices to go about filtering a dimension prior to generating a report?

Thank you,

Andrew

    Hi Christian, sorry for the late reply, busy on this end. I believe I pretty much took your method using the filter and filtering out the column to exclude the mentioned tag above.
