Understanding Query Filter vs. Report Filter in SAP BI

During your SAP BI interview, it's important to differentiate between a query filter and a report filter. Here's a breakdown of the key differences:

Query Filter:

A query filter is applied at the data retrieval stage, where data is fetched based on specific criteria set in the query. It helps to narrow down the dataset before it is presented in the report.

Report Filter:

A report filter, on the other hand, is applied after the data has been retrieved by the query. It allows users to further refine the data displayed in the report without affecting the underlying dataset.

Understanding the distinction between these two types of filters is essential for effectively managing data and generating accurate insights in SAP BI.
