Dataset wildcard filtering

Description

It would be nice to have the ability to filter datasets based on a filter containing a wildcard rather than having to explicitly choose values to include or exclude.  I realize this can be done with an SQL statement, but adding the ability to use a "Like" for instance with a value of '<character>%' would be an enhancement.  

Use Case and Business Need

If new values meeting the criteria are added in the datasource, the dataset would capture those values upon a dataset reload or a live connection.  Currently, the dataset must be defined with explicit values for filtering.

    Agreed. If we have to write anything in SQL, then what' the purpose of the tool.  99% of my users do not know the SQL workarounds.  This is supposed to be a tool for end users.
