RELATED IDEAS

Create an option to manually enter the value for numeric range Dashboard Filters

1) What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?

Currently there is only a slider option for the Numerical Range filter type. The user is trying to enter the value manually to quickly filter results based on the value entered, rather than having to slide the filter slider to get the value right, especially when the value range is too big.

2) How are they solving it currently?

The user can only use the slider option.

3) What is the recommended solution by the Customer?

Create an option to have the value entered manually.

    Greater than or less than filters are really dysfunctional. The only option is the numerical range. However the UI (slider) only allows a user to select a random sampling of actual values from the dataset. This takes resources (to query and generate the random sample) and provides terrible functionality. Yesterday I had a slider that allowed me to select 0, 63, or 131 as my lower bound. But I had thousands of rows between 0 and 63, and 63 and 131. I wanted to filter rows above 100, and this was *not possible at all*. Forcing a user to write conditional jinja to inject filter values taken from a filter acting on a dummy dataset is really laborious. It also renders the filter scoping function useless. For every different scope I have to create an entirely new dataset with entirely different jinja. It is quite frankly a mess. The current design is super broken. Just remove the idea of populating values from the data entirely as it has negative functional value. Write some code to have filters work as they do on every BI tool.
