Removing Unwanted Measure Names from Quick Filter(Part 2): less names more values

My earlier post on this subject seems really popular. I am a little surprised to say the least.

Here is another technique: Right-click in the Measures shelf and hide unused Measures. The unused measures will disappear from your quick filter. You are done!

Wait, you may say: There are some measures that I still use. But I don't want them to appear in the quick filter. What should I do? Try the following solution:

1.Duplicate your data source and link it with the primary data source using a common dimension such as Date.
2.Build your worksheet with Measures you want to show from your primary data source and Measures you don't want to show from the secondary data source.
3.Your quick filter will only show Measures from the primary data source!

Here is a special case posted by C. Palo, which might be encountered by other people.

Problem:

• I have 5 worksheets. Each sheets needs a different quick filter that shows a different set of measure names.
• On some sheets, I need to display less measure names but still need more measure values.

Solution:

• Duplicate the data connection 4 more times. One connection for each sheet.
• Remove measure names by hiding them as outlined above or like in the earlier post .
• Get extra measure values from duplicate connections if not in the primary connection.

Hope this helps.
