Retrieves all available filter values for a specified filter over a period of time.

Table Specific Information

In order to use this view, the user must be authorized to use billing and cost services.

Select

The Dimension field is required in the WHERE clause. The component will also process the filters below server-side, though collaborative query processing. The component will other filters client-side, within itself. You can turn off the client-side execution of the query by setting SupportEnhancedSQL to false.

Server-Side Query Processing

Server-side filtering is supported on Dimension, Context, SearchString, and time period (StartDate - EndDate).

Filtering on a Date Range

StartDate and EndDate have limitations from the API such that StartDate cannot be older than a year before the current date, while EndDate cannot be set to a value after the beginning of the next month (wrong values will be automatically corrected by the component). Both are required from the API, so if they are not specified in the query, values will be assigned to them as described below:

• Only StartDate is missing: StartDate will get a value of one year before the EndDate. Considering the limitations mentioned before, the value will be eventually corrected by the component.
• Only EndDate is missing: EndDate will get a value of one year after the StartDate. Considering the limitations mentioned before, the value will be eventually corrected by the component.
• Both are missing: EndDate will be set at the beginning of next month. StartDate will be set one year before the EndDate.

Examples

The following query will be solved server side:

SELECT * FROM DimensionValues WHERE Dimension='AZ' AND StartDate > '01-01-2018'
