GROUP BY IN FILTER CONDITIONS

Question

Hi,
I am trying to filter the condition based on account number and year, for specific account numbers i want to limit it by fiscal year 2010, for others i want all the years from 2007. How can I group it under filters in OBIEE.
Ex: for account numbers 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003 I want to pull records from Year 2010. For account numbers 7000, 7003, 7700 I want to pull from year 2007, 2008, 2009.
I am new to OBIEE. Need help.
Thank you.

Try this:
1) In the filters area, set the filter on fiscal year >=2007
This will filter for only those records in the years you wish. (If you wish to see all others in an "Other" group, skip this step.)
2) Part 1 - Create a BINS column. One BIN for fiscal year equal 2010, call it "Current Year" and for the second BIN for fiscal year greater than or equal to 2007, call it "Previous Years"
3) Part 2 - Click on the "Clear All" button on the BINS tab of this column which will expose the CASE statement that OBI created.
4) Click on the other tab now and you will see the CASE statement. Add the additional condition for the account numbers : "...AND Account."Account Number" IN (1000,1001,1002,1003)..." for the first condition and ...AND Account."Account Number" IN (7000,7003,7700)... for the second case statement.
Now, put this BINS column in the pivot table under the Sections section and your report will be grouped by the two groups. (Note: If you chose to have an "Other" group, you will need to modify step 2 to add this BINS label.
