Filter Comparison Operators
There are a number of different comparison operators in the Dashboard, some are more obvious than others, so we’ve put together the following table that explains how each of then can be used.
Comparison Operator | Meaning |
---|---|
Equal to | Filters charts and tables to show data that exactly matches the specified option |
Not equal to | Filters charts and tables to show data that does not exactly match the specified option |
Greater than | Filters charts and tables to show data greater than the specified option. The specified option itself will be excluded - only values greater than this will be shown |
Greater than or equal to | Filters charts and tables to show values greater than or equal to the specified option. The specified option itself will also be included |
Less than | Filters charts and tables to show values less than the specified option. The specified option itself will be excluded - only values less than this will be shown |

In | Filters charts and tables to show values that match one or more specified options |
Not in | Filters charts and tables to show values that do not match one or more specified options |
Like | When ‘Like’ is selected and users enter a string e.g. ‘co’, all charts and tables will be filtered on words that contain that string - results could include New Mexico or Wisconsin. This differs to ‘Equal to’ as this search will only find data that is an exact match for the string |
Not like | When ‘Not like’ is selected and users enter a string e.g. ‘co’, all charts and tables will be filtered on words that do not contain that string - results could include Alabama or Illinois. This differs to ‘Not equal to’ as this search will only find data that is not an exact match for the string |
Between | Filters charts and tables to show data that is between two specified values |
Not between | Filters charts and tables to show data that is not between two specified values |
Is null | This option will filter charts and tables to show null values only |
Is not null | This option will filter charts and tables to show values that are not null |
Starts with | This option will match any values that start with the provided string. For example, Starts with ‘Co' would find matches such as Colorado and Connecticut |
