BPS: How to filter Lead Columns at run time

Question

I need to know if there is a way to filter values for lead columns, after planning level and planning package where defined
Example:
Family | Material | Brand | Format | sales | cost | Margin
F1      M1         B1      F1       100     80     20
F1      M2         B1      F1        95     85     10
F1      M2         B1      F2       105     90     15
In this case the user wants to add 10% to sales and review how does it impact into margin, but he wants to apply it only to rows where Material is M1.
So, he needs to use some kind of filter data (like Excel functionality) to select only the rows corresponding to material M1.
After that, he wants to perform other filters over the other lead columns, and apply again some changes in the data columns.
Somebody can help me with this requirement?
Thanks in advance

Hi Pamela,
First of all you would need a variable for Material with Replacement type user defined values to be able to restrict the data for Material M1 when the layout is executed.
For incrementing the sales by 10% you can create a Planning function which increases the sales amount by 10% and provide a button for the same in the User Planning Folder. You could also restrict the Planning function for Material M1 if you so desire.
The benefit of the Planning function is that you can always "Undo" the operation if you have not saved/performed a subsequent operation. So as long as the user is applying some changes and undoing the same before the second change step the data is as it is, and for what changes the user would like to simulate you can create a Planning function and provide the option in the Planning folder.
Hope it helps.
