what is difference btw summary filter and detail filter,
plz explain with example

Answer Posted / vsandhyana

hi manju,

you are correct but not explained your answer well.
it's true that detail filter is used before aggregation and
summary filter is used after aggregation.

just look the explanation below:
lets say that for product A we have three quantity values
10,15 and 18 for product B values are 20,19,11 and so on ..

we set the aggregation total on field quantity .
Detail Filter:
if we group by the quantity on product than we will get the
value 43(Sum of the values) for product A and 50 for product B
if i have applied a filter (quantity >16) and applied on
before aggregation than we will get the output value for A
is 18 and for product B the value is 39 here in both product
A and B we have filter out the values less than 16.

Summary Filter:
if we have applied the same filter on after aggregation than
the output for product A is 43 and for product B is 50. here
we have not filter out any values because the filter is
applied on the product after aggregation.

and u have applied a filter price>=30 before aggregation
than output is

30
