Filter by total

Hi
I have a report showing only deals for product A over 50k so the report looks like this
Product A 2016
Cloud 55000
The minute I drill to the product so now I have product A and B
Product A Product B 2016
Cloud Cloud 1 25000
Cloud 2 30000
Total 55000
Since the filter is only to show over 50000 the in scenario 2 this record will disappear unless I can filter by Total.
Any idea on how I can filter by total.

Hi,
The simplest way is to use your hierarchy ...
As you can drill down from Product A to Product B it means you have an hierarchy defined.
So instead of adding a filter on the "deal amount" add the filter on the "deal amount" aggregated at the "Product A" level. With that kind of filter you will be able to drill down to the levels underneath "Product A" without losing the rows because of the filter.
Here you see the same kind of example, I left the "AGGREGATE("Base Facts"."2- Billed Quantity" AT "Products"."Products Hierarchy"."Brand")" on the screen just for the example to highlight why the rows doesn't disappear, but this column can also not exist and you just add the formula in the filter itself.
So I added a filter on "Billed Quantity" > 40'000, and without the AGGREGATE AT I would lose the "BizTech" row when drilling down from Brand to LOB because both rows are < 40'000. By using the AGGREGATE AT as filter the rows stays on screen because the condition is always evaluated at the Brand level and this allow me to drill down to the 4 levels of the hierarchy and explore the details.

Addition to Gianni: What you'd be actually with that is creating a level-based measure for your fact. Basically a "Billed Quantity at Brand level". Works similar in all respects to level-based measures like "Revenue Year Total" which always aggregates at year level and allows comparison of other attribute/fact combinations agianst a level-based measure like "How much Revenue per Region did we make - in percent - compared to the year total of all regions?"
