IBM Cognos TM1 Developer V10.2 — Question 68

A report author wants to filter a report on two data items, and has decided to use a combined filter rather than two custom filters.
Why has the report author decided to use a combined filter?

Answer options

• A. A report author should always use advanced filters instead of combined filters.
• B. Using two custom filters and one combined filter is exactly the same and either one can be used.
• C. A combined filter would allow to combine the values of two data items and then filter on the combined values.
• D. A combined filter will allow the use of two custom filters joined by either "˜AND', "˜OR', or "˜NOT' operators in between.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a combined filter specifically allows for the integration of values from two data items for filtering based on those merged values. Options A and B are incorrect as they misrepresent the function and equivalence of filter types, while D describes a feature of combined filters but does not directly address the reason for using a combined filter over two custom filters.
